New report: It’s getting hard to ‘make ends meet’ in Pinellas

In Pinellas County, the “survival budget” for a family of four surged 9% to $108,480 – the highest in Florida, according to a new study released by the United Way Suncoast. 

That study, “The State of ALICE in Florida,” looked at the financial prospects of local households focusing on "ALICE" households: "Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed." This attempts to measure families who are not captured by poverty statistics but are nevertheless struggling to make the money they need to keep up their households.
