plommer Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Just ask, they will tell you so themselves. Despite these facts: ~ 42% of Americans make less than $25,000 *in other words around 97 million working Americans are poor fucks ~70% of Americans make less than $50,000 *in other words pretty much need two incomes in the family to make the family work source -> http://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-poverty/cps-pinc/pinc-01.html click on the "All Races" excel spreadsheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol Aristatel Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 These stats are per person I assume. A couple making 40k each are doing ok in many places in the US. Not a life of luxury, but middle class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timely Hitting Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 75k for an individual in DC and you're likely eating ramen, or eating well living in the rat infested apts of Chinatown.Yeah one bed one bath condo where I live is 245k. Making 90k a year allows for some freedom with no family or outside influences... but with a family or supporting someone else it stretches you thin. Chicago expensive as fff. You still do well but same pay somewhere else and life is easy and no budgeting needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First suburb west of the city and the property taxes are fucking absurd. School system is top notch but I have no kids. San fran is one of the few places that makes Chicago look cheap though. My place 950 sq feet at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now SF is laughably more expensive. I literally couldn't rent a reasonable One Br in SF for the price of my mortgage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
