Living Wage calculator
WHAT IS THE LIVING WAGE CALCULATOR?
"Families and individuals working in low-wage jobs make insufficient income to meet minimum standards given the local cost of living. We developed a living wage calculator to estimate the cost of living in your community or region based on typical expenses. The tool helps individuals, communities, and employers determine a local wage rate that allows residents to meet minimum standards of living."

I was thinking the samething...I guess they said FUCK DC, it ain't even worth it...lol
You're assuming these folk have cars.
If you live in southern California and you don't have a car... you're basically fucked. Our transit system is not up to par with other states.
An eighty mile commute one way is normal here. So gasoline prices are factored into monthly budgets in a major way. You can be on the freeway for an hour and thirty minutes (one way) easily.
Who put this study out MIT?
Who paid MIT to do this?
All the people living like that ride the bus to work, use Obama prepaid flip phones and live in a studio apartment with 4 other people.

Do it. You won't regret it.
Ain’t no fixed shit deleware is a state and it’s right there
dc is in Maryland and Virginia

Pass the blunt kid. U buggin rn
The District of Columbia was built on land given by Virginia and Maryland, but it’s a wholly independent political territory from those two states. Why do you think there is a push for DC statehood? And the land Virginia donated was given back and became the counties of Arlington and Alexandria. DC was supposed to be shaped like a diamond. Like the Roc. Insert any Masonic conspiracy theory here ________ .
I actually “got by” in NC on 24k as a graduate (2007-2014) student.Wife and daughter with me. We were on food stamps too. I miss those stamps.
There were some real struggles, but I got by.
You’re the only ones in here posting real info. People are woefully misguided about the median incomes in the United States.
Public transit clears that. Especially a discounted bus pass.
majority of this country is “getting by” their entire life. I can believe those median incomes. This is BGOL where there median income is 6.7 million dollars
I don't know if you're familiar with So.Cali. But, I have a friend who lives in Riverside County. His job is at Edwards Air Force Base which is in Kern County. That's about a 110 mile trip one way. He's on the road for about 2.5 hours, again one way. The 138 freeway is a two lane highway. If there's an accident, you're screwed. If a truck is in front of you driving slow, your screwed.
Public Transit will not get him there in a timely fashion if at all. Buses and trains don't go everywhere like they do in other states. A bus/transit pass won't do anything for him. A vehicle of your own is a must here.
Y'all don't have to believe me... It's the truth for most of us though. Most can't afford to live in the city of LA so they move outwards, and commute to work.
OP must be huffing solvents!
So is most of the southern states. People get by (somehow) but it's Hella time consuming. I had a stint as a Lyft driver once. This Mexican lady called me to pick her up at an area and she just hiked through the bushes. I dropped her off in time for her to catch the local tram in Dallas.
It took me four hours to get home after dropping off my only vehicle for repairs. Train+bus+mile walk and it's in the city. Mind you, if the phone dies, no map in the pocket.
BGOL out of whack with real America. Remember those food lines with the shutdown in 2019 and then with COVID? Folks one paycheck away from the gutter.majority of this country is “getting by” their entire life. I can believe those median incomes. This is BGOL where there median income is 6.7 million dollars
Shit. In SF, you're better off renting out the car for public transit money.
Same shit I thought when I saw GA they must be talking about someone living in the fucking slums…
The problem is we're mainly males hunting for keeps. Holler at those broke broads in the ladies forum to say what's doable.
Isn't that most of GA?
Me in a nutshell….. fuck Atlanta I gotta get outta here
Come to Atlanta with that 30k and see if yo ass ain’t struggling unless you wanna live in the hood…. But they gentrifying anything inside 285 so you might be struggling with that

Atlanta is a very very small part of GA.

California is largely a wasteland of ugly drought ridden topography, white trash, border jumping scum and farming grounds outside of metro pockets like LA and the bay.
