Here in South California, the poverty line is $100,000 USD. If you make less than that per year, you are considered poor. Cost of living is horrendous here, so you can imagine that makes everything feel expensive. And its only going to keep getting worse. I wouldn't be surprised to hear in 10 yeas that its $175k.

If I have to choose between one game and a meal for my family, the game loses every time.
