Level one: Survivors.
Out of the 8 billion people on earth, about 11% belong to this level. That’s a staggering 900 million people, living at the very bottom, these people survive on less than $2 a day, and their main goal is just to make it through another day. For them, every day is a fight to find clean water, enough food and a roof over their heads, which makes reaching their goal incredibly hard. For everyone at this level, access to the internet, education, or stable job opportunities isn’t even possible, without those chances breaking free from this level feels almost impossible. if someone finally manages to escape they won’t go far they’ll end up in the third of the world.

Most live in tight spaces, where having your own room is a luxury. Things like the internet, health care, and education are possible for some at this level, but they’re often low quality. There’s no emergency fund, no savings and if they need something, they have to sacrifice something else. Luxuries?, they’re not even on their radar, despite the poor quality of education, and internet access.
