Ingredients and goods at the grocery store might have a fixed price, but that price can look different based on your annual income. A new website — Tipping Point — wants you to experience what it’s like to live below the poverty line, specifically in the Bay Area. According to Fast Company, about one in 10 families living in the Bay Area lives below the federal poverty line, which is $24,300. The site aims to give awareness to this issue and raise money for those in need.
The website is simple: Enter your yearly household income into the website and find out how everyday household items would “cost” you if you were living below the federal poverty line in San Fransisco.
