Here is a calculator to see your risk of entering poverty in the coming years... take it and be shocked...

that seems to be a bit gaga - doesn't even ask for income or where you live (both are rather important, i'd say). i got a chance of 37.8% for extreme poverty (whatever that's supossed to be) within the next 15 years

Well pick where you would like to live in America and see if you make enough to live there...
i make enough to live anywhere in the us but i'm rather out of my depth when it comes to page #2 (counties) - the only one of your counties i know by name is maricopa (you can probably guess why)

It's real off when it comes to the county I live in. It's at least 26 % with a population under 45,000. Poverty in California is mainly in the far north. (No, San Francisco is NOT northern California!) Another poverty spot is the San Joaquin Valley. In this state, you are either rich or you are poor.

why the fuck is your 15 year number so much better than mine? the only difference is 2 years as they do not ask where you live or what yo earn.

37.8% vs 14.9% - the only reason that makes sense is that you got a much higher chance to be dead by then

Our states GDP numbers, I have shown that we American people are being cheated from having Universal Healthcare and Education... When you compare them to modern Western Nations with the same GDP numbers, which have universal healthcare and education.
