$2 a day is "extreme poverty".

The poverty line in 2013 for a single person (one-person household) living in the continental 48 states is $11,490 per year. (Source: http://www.familiesusa.org/resources/tools-for-advocates/guides/federal-poverty-guidelines.html)

For DanArmak's statement to be true (assuming he lives in the continental U.S.), he would have to be earning less than $47,960 per year. That's not even remotely unlikely. I earn less than that, for instance.
