    It takes $44,737 for a one-person household to maintain a “minimal quality of life”?

    Stagnation of wages and increasing prices are causing a crisis, no doubt, but is that really the number we’re looking at for a minimum?

    According to this, I’ve only ever personally known (at least well enough to know their income) two people affording a ‘minimal quality of life’.
