An investor did the math recently & found that a family of four in the US needs $136,500 annually to afford basic essentials.
That's more than 4x the official US poverty line, which is $32,150.

An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point.
Michael Green’s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math.
