Umm, no. The poverty line for a family of two is $36K a year. My mother makes about 25.5K a year, and after taxes + bills, it's only a couple hundred that can go to anything like food. I can edit on the wiki because she bought a laptop 6 years ago, when she could afford it, because her PC was failing. I also use my tech center computer to edit here, when I have the opportunity.
