No, it's not.
How much money a single person needs to earn to get by in every U.S. state
- Thread starter Joe Money
- Start date
pretty much, SF, NYC, Boston, DC, Portland, Chicago, Philly are the cities off top of my head where you don't need a car
Atlanta ain't Ga.
Atlanta proper is. Metro Atlanta is where most of the population is.
People are mistaking living vs surviving.This kind of thread get posted like 2 to 4 times a year. And you will see a few " you need $200k to live in NYC" posts
What you need to live and what you need to survive are two different things.
Living is having enough money left over after taxes, paying bills, etc...and being able to save money easy, to be able to do extra shit with minimum issues, etc....
Surviving is spending most of your money on pure survival.
The latter is what this study is about (the minium needed for a single person to survive without government assistance).

Yeah, this would be better if they did it by cities. 34k in NoVA will have you turning to a life of crime to make ends meet.
They break it down by the state and by the county.
Press the state and it brings you to the different counties.

first state i checked for was cali & knew this list was on some bullish!t
Whole lot of bullshit.
Without the A and Savannah, Ga. would be Wyoming South.
Word haven’t lived here long but I have quickly learned there is ATL and then there is Georgia I have seen some spots still looking like 1960s south wandering too far outside of the 285 perimeter
You need a car in Boston. Trains and buses dont go everywhere like NY and they shut down at 2am.
Man FOH that goes for all states . Outside of any major metro you have that. Knock it off. Outside of Atlanta you have klansman and white trash everywhere. Outside of DC in rural VA you got the same shit including Illegals and MS13 killing people.
You the idiot pushing back on numbers given for a state of 40million as if the living cost in the Bay defines the whole.
The state is largely trash. Half of which is on fire or sitting on unstable fault lines. Shit, that number may be too high for that shit stop.
Speaking of shit stops... NJ looks like a city sized toilet right now. Shame.

A home in the shittiest parts of California cost as much as nice homes around the rest of the country. You couldn’t even afford Bakersfield but you acting like only two areas are unaffordable to most. You don’t know what the fuck you’re even talking about.
Atlanta too.
Dude, I had no idea Seattle was so damn expensive! BTW, DMV will give Cali a run for its money, as far as cost of living.
Still alot cheaper there and Seattle is DMV prices.
Dc looking like Europe..marshmallow city
You must have never been outside of Atlanta.
That actually should have said NJ and NY. I was shitting on wack ass Jersey today.
When will the middle class revolt?
Yeah - it definitely can add up. We're about 3 hours from there. Have some family that still live there, but others have passed on or moved over to Olympia, WA (dad's side of the family - his dad was 1 of 11 kids). Pre-covid, we'd usually visit them a few times a year.
Other states? Shidddd majority of the states have shit transit or no transit at all
No, outside of ATL is metro ATL. Gwinnett, Dekalb, Clayton, Fayette, Douglas counties and etc.
There is no way they can be accurate on that. Some people almost have to slave to survive. We were born in a world where success is based offf being a carbon copy of a white male. Controlled by the language,ideas,values,etc. If you are controlled by these things they can estimate how much it takes to survive.
One thing I can say about Detroit is when I was growing up the transit was pretty legit except the fucking 6 mile/ McNichols bus. Some of my wildest stories came from catching the bus
I ain’t been on the iron pimp (bus) in Detroit in ages I’m pretty sure it’s not the same now but growing up Before I had my car it was easy to maneuver around the city. Probably because Detroit on a grid system. When I first visited Atlanta it was a shock to me how bad the Marta system was.
