HN tends to be ludicrously out of touch when it comes to wages/salaries.

HN tends to be ludicrously out of touch when it comes to wages/salaries.
- galdosdi 10y agoOut of touch is right! Even in Manhattan you can easily live fine on $40k with savings left over, at least if you have no dependents or health financing problems (eg expensive health condition coupled with bad insurance). In most of the USA, a $20/hr job with benefits counts as a good job.
