By every metric Americans are so much more worse off since Biden was installed in the White House. The standard of living is being reduced for everyone except those who are politically connected. Our money is going straight into their pockets by theft (inflation is theft of our money by the government).

The amount a family needs to get by is dependent on location and financial acumen. These broad-brush polls are ridiculous.

I’m pretty sure that savvy welfare recipients can do better than that...much better.

You can easily get by on $85K in Green Bay Wisconsin. But you would not have to. As you can easily get a job for $50K in Green Bay and the two of you would make $100K.

I agree with the 85k for a family of 4 depending on part of the country. That would make it slightly comfortable. It can be done for 40k, but that would be bare essentials comfortable and would exclude certain parts of the country.

I always wonder, how do people survive in countries with average income about $1000 a year?
How did our ancestors survived?

This number could really mean three different scenarios. People are trying to live above their means by buying frivolous items, the economy is really screwed or both.

I think both is the answer. You can better access this with follow up question. How many big screen smart tvs are in households?

Another option is to not marry, pop out a few youngons, get on the welfare train complete with wic and maybe get a side hustle. Works for some.
