Survey data obtained from 893 very low-income elderly is presented utilizing a poverty, low-income dichotomy. The relationships between income level, sex and marital status are explored for a variety of items related to morale and life satis,faction. It is concluded that either sex or marital status differences may have significant influence on the elderly person's life satisfaction above a poverty level, but neither is important below the poverty level. It is suggested that widowhood at the lowest income levels is relatively insignificant because spouses are not as likely to have been as emotionally close nor as interpersonally dependent when married
