there is a number to show poverty in the usa.
do not know what it is.
and it varies if you live in NJ,NY,CT tristate area to live in a house with a family of four 100k is enough but not really great.
But that would not be poverty level that would be lower middle class.
I think poverty varies from 20k to 40k depends on the area you live in.
a new york city apartment under 2k a month is basically not to be found.
Sorry philipma1957, I'm wasn't trying to one up you there. I was working on my post for a while trying to create that table and fill it out.
