EDIT 2: So Ethan makes $36,701.38 in subscriptions before fees. However, he pays $500 each month for the web hosting service, plus an additional 30% fee out of each subscription according to AltisticRight. He's paying roughly $11,010.3 in fees on the dollar, plus $6,000 a year for hosting, so this leaves him with $17,010 taken out before the money even hits his bank account.
Therefore he's only making
$19,691 a year because that's what actually even gets into his hands.
That's equivalent to $393.82 a week (50 weeks), or $7.87 an hour for a 50 hour working week.

The poverty line in America is considered less than $16,000 a year, if anyone was wondering.
You can currently get that from entry level work at McDonald's. Literally making what is considered minimum wage in a lot of the USA. It's definitely not enough for him to take his money and actually move somewhere nice or live large. Maybe his money goes further in Bumfuck Virginia, so he has to stay there.
Also keep in Mind that May has admitted she took up a job of her own (while pregnant), so Ethan definitely isn't making enough to support them both.

EDIT: This also doesn't account for taxes, or medicare and social security tax. That's got to be at least $3000. Gunt might actually be below the legal poverty line. lol.
