Ok I understand it's possible to use these terms as if they have meaning to some demographic somewhere, but what is the point of using them without actually referring to the necessary figures to figure out what they actually mean to the rest of us?

Also: fuck me, if americans have a 700/month car payment on average most americans you're likely to interact with on a daily basis will be deep under the poverty line. Like, the actual poverty line of "struggling to survive", not the bullshit metric used to cut people off from welfare.
