        @WSJ In Brazil, if you have an annual income of approximately US$ 1,300.00 you are officially considered a middle class! Bizarre!

        @WSJ It should honestly vary by state, living in NY making 147k is very different from living in SC making 147k

        @WSJ I wonder what this would be adjusted for cost of living in California. $22000 is poverty in CA. You can't even afford to rent with that
