I suppose they could move to some rural area for cheap rent, but what jobs exist there? I have multiple relatives making $60k or $100k and can barely survive once you introduce healthcare co-pays, deductibles, rent, pharma copays, etc. Please, for a moment, consider that you are a techie possibly making $250k $500k, or more and there are people suffering who making a third or a fifth of you. Consider that you might be single but there are others with kids. Also consider that you might have a Platinum healthcare plan but others have "healthcare" with 10k deductibles per familymember.
