The salary a single person needs to get by in every U.S. state - Lemmy.world

I 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).

Can confirm that these figures are very inflated. I currently live in Hawaii on half of that "living wage". Have a nice (by Hawaii standards) 2 bedroom apartment and still have over 1000 in excess income after rent\utils\groceries\gas each month.

112k is around what i would need to be making to afford a house\mortgage, but its possible to "live" without.
