How much yearly income would you consider below the poverty line?

Unlikely, the median household income is closer to 35,000. I personally know someone that only makes around 15,000 in Philly and isn't doing too bad for themselves. Hell the wife and I went more than 1 calendar year with us both being on unemployment with two dependents. Granted our unemployment wasn't bad at 1,900/month, but it was a snug fit. You just gotta know how to budget and plan for everything including wants and some entertainment.

For most its fear of leaving all that they know. I'm still here only because where I live has all the amenities. Plus its one of the cheapest places you can live in the BX without sacrificing quality of life.
30K out here in LA is fucking poor.

That's ridiculous.. I know for a fact you can live pretty well in central NC (W-S, Greensboro, parts of Durham) on 35-40k. Heck, that's what Pepsi and Wachovia were offering people coming out of undergrad for IT.. exactly why I turned them downI'd definitely say 25k in areas with low cost of living
smh
Car insurance
Health coverage
clothes for when you need them
car maintenance on that older used car
credit cards, if you have them
LOL
I been here since I was 3 you telling me what property cost down here fam? Rentals are going down since developers are targeting singles (ie. $675 for a one bedroom 700 sq apartment)
Florida insurance is really high as well..
You're poor making 30k down here living alone.
675 for a one bedroom ain't bad. Is everyone's insurance high or does it go by age and location?

Damn. Really? That's living thrifty right? Shit in the East I'd say 40K. Anything lower and you eating fucking Ramen on a regular.
This is florida, we lead the country in accidents every year. As well as trafic related deaths and when insurance companies get sued, we pay for it.
Think of of it this way, rent in a normal place will set you back at least 800. The commuter system here is still wack, so if you get a bucket, car insurance and food + phone that's about it.
Cali is overpriced for what you get man.
In atlanta, less than 30k for a family of four isn't enough.
If you're single...maybe 25. Depends on where you want to live and if you have personal transportation.

Here on the westcoast I know some people paying $1200 - 1600 for some 1-bedroom apartment rent bullshit. People just don't get it sometimes.
That's the dumbest shit I have ever read..why pay a mortgage number for rent?

In Houston you can live okay on 25k a year.
Because a mortgage plus escrow is probably double that in those plAces.
Like here in ny. And dont forgot the 50k down payment
In Manhattan in the black and spanish neighborhoods rent for a 2-3 bedroom will be at least 1600 a month...

I pay 2,000 a month for a 3 bedroom..Working on buying a Ryan home down south...
Anyone not doing too bad on that amount is living with someone, and/or getting some form of help from the government. Btw a 35g median is low.
This is the government's belief as to where poverty starts. Yet poverty starts well above these numbers. The working poor are people stuck between a rock and a hard place. Now "poor enough" and barely make enough.
