2:28:2248k a month would be 45% on taxes alone for me
2:28:27@Psyche_TH there's a federal minimum wage and then a minimum wage that varies from state to state in the US
2:28:281k is super cheap for a city. thats 1 room in a small suburb or something.
2:28:28under 50K is 12% federal taxes

2:28:4740k a year was a lot back then in the 90s
2:28:48)': usually a third of what I make goes to house stuff
2:28:54it's dififcult to save when cost of living keeps going up
2:29:031k a month isn't really an option for rent, unless you're renting 1 room.
2:29:05i'd hit at most 2k savings a year
2:29:06@Legato39 100k job was the dream back in 90s
2:29:08depends on where and what field

2:29:18I dont think the tech job is the meta right now

2:29:28Slightly better than poverty, killing it
2:29:31Cost of Living Adjustment (CoLA) is important to research before taking a job, folks.
