[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 8133428, member: 127792"] I wouldnt even dream of trying. JRF define it as soomething like 60% of the average household income after housing costs. But that would put me still in poverty which I think isnt the case - you can manage perfectly fine with very little spare money. In the case of older people, they dont seem able to achieve the higher degrees of cost saving which can be achieved by simply sharing a house. Heating, council tax, are hugely reduced by two people sharing a two bed house than a one bed. Id suggest it was easier to fall into poverty if a) you are a younger person, b) you have multiple children, c) the main household earner is in an insecure job, d) you are not mobile to move elsewhere either due to lack of education or lack of private car / public transport, e) you have a history of mental illness, criminal record, or substance issues. Because income vs expenditure is so finely balanced it only takes one string to break for everything to go wrong. [/QUOTE]
