The poverty line is very relevant when the entire discussion is about getting by.

  Again assuming the meaning of "getting by". > In 2015, in the United States, the poverty threshold for a single person under 65 was at an annual income of US$11,770; the threshold for a family group of four, including two children, was US$24,250. Do you consider this getting by?

    24k for a family of 4... That's easily just the cost of an apartment/utilities for a year here in Austin. Damn. :-/

      That's why it's called "poverty."
