above poverty, say 200% above, which is still less than $40,000 per year for a family of three. You suffered no Medicaid,no subsidy to rent, no food coupon, no free daycare etc.. You have to pay all sorts expense by yourself.
For majority of poor people, from below poverty to above poverty is already a success, but the success renders a worse quality of life.
unfortunately, there is very few people can move up from below poverty to middle class.
Those who move up above poverty only get a sense of self-esteem, beside that, nothing.
