96.  I was raised in three different brackets
My mom was single from the time I was five. She died when I was eight and I went to live with my father, an upper middle class jerk, then when I was 13, I divorced him and the stepmonster and went to live with my grandparent's in the South, fixed income and lived in a trailer. I ended up getting my bachelors degree in nursing with much government help ( yeah, pre Reagan).

I'm currently polyamorous and a socialist so we have three incomes but they get dropped off at the door and we each have a fixed stipend. Most of mine gets spent handing out ten dollar bills to people on street corners and other such things. I don't care for this society much and I spend as much time as possible staying out of it. I put on my urban camouflage for work, but otherwise, I've dropped out. I don't see how one can stay sane in such an insane society.
