The absolute poverty line is US$2/day, purchasing power parity adjusted. You don't earn less than $8/day.
$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.
Thus spake Eliezer:
It seems that many here might have outlandish ideas for ways of improving our lives. For instance, a recent post advocated installing really bright lights as a way to boost alertness and productivity. We should not adopt such hacks into our dogma until we're pretty sure they work; however, one way of knowing whether a crazy idea works is to try implementing it, and you may have more ideas than you're planning to implement.
So: please post all such lifehack ideas! Even if you haven't tried them, even if they seem unlikely to work. Post them separately, unless some other way would be more appropriate. If you've tried some idea and it hasn't worked, it would be useful to post that too.
