>"America's cheapest family" also does just fine on a single income of $35K/year and five children (though they're probably living well now with a book deal)

The original point wasn't whether or not you can do OK on that level of income; it's that unlike people who make more, their lives are usually houses of cards, very carefully put together to work out. If my income were to be reduced 10%, I'd be fine. If theirs were, they'd lose everything they have.
