Oakland510_ 03/05/18 5:39:23 PM #1:	I've had a few jobs in the last 10 years and each raise or new job that paid more I was happy with for like 4-6 months then my attitude was like "meh whatever". Right now I am making my highest ever at $20/hr. Like I said I was super happy now I don't think it's anything special. Just need to know if I am taking $20/hr for granted and just be happy with that for now or if I should be actively looking for a new job that can pay more. <cite>Oakland510_ posted [p:897233161] in Is making ...

The Bay Area is a huge no...Towards the valley is slightly better but still not ideal.

Congrats! Places like Cali, N.Y., and Hawaii are notoriously expensive to live in though. Very true. If he lived in Louisiana, Texas, Alabama and several other states the 40k would certainly be a modest wage. Particularly if he had a significant other also making just as much.

KILBOTz 03/05/18 6:38:02 PM #18:	You are at that spot where its dependent on where you live. Most of California, probably the "scraping by" category. Parts are cheaper where it would be saving a bit but still feeling tight, aka middle class in America. Major cities across the US it would be between how do you survive to middle class. Fly over states in non-major cities, you would be doing middle class, better than some, worst than others. --- http://i.imgur.com/O3syCWD.gif http://i.imgur.com/k3YiBdG.gif <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:897236432] in Is making ...

PrettyBoyFloyd 03/05/18 6:49:37 PM #19:	You'd be fine in my area of Eastern North Carolina. The Raleigh/Garner area might be a little pricey though. Anyway I always figured one would have to make a $100 a hour to live in California. Like isn't a pack of smokes $10 a pack or a 12pk of cheap beer $30 ? Can't see why one would pay like $50,000 a year just for rent. --- The Evil Republicans - Est.2004 - WoT [Government Destabilizing Branch] <cite>PrettyBoyFloyd posted [p:897237083] in Is making ...
