return2ozmaThe salary a single person needs to get by in every U.S. state
ArbitraryValueI call bullshit on a definition of “living wage” which claims that someone making $100,000 a year is earning less than a living wage (even in Hawaii).
It looks like it is assuming paying for a mortgage and allowing like 20% for savings. They are definitely not looking at just a living wage, they are assuming home buyers that are actively saving money.
20% savings would be nice. That would be like 1500-2000 extra per month. That’s comfortable.
