That definition is VERY vague. I asked you to be specific. How many people? What does "live off" include SPECIFICALLY? What are "normal expenses"?
I'm quite certain one can survive on zero dollars, so I assume you're talking about something else. But I don't get what.
The $2400 number is completely made up, it's not even geography-specific. It's a lot in Indiana suburbs and it's barely anything in SF.
- jacquesm 8y agoYou're shouting and I have a feeling that no matter what gets written here it will not satisfy you, so game over.
- bufferoverflow 8y agoAn actual answer would satisfy me. But I doubt it will be provided. That's the whole reason for using vague terms like "living wage".
- jacquesm 8y agoI have given you a definition and a number that +- 20% satisfies all of the US demographic data that I have my disposal, if you're looking for an essay complete with citations you're going to have to line up behind the paying customers. You started this thread in bad faith ('and no dancing around') and went to worse from there.
