2000 a month is really tight, even if you live in some of the cheapest rural towns in America. If you have a family, it’s poverty wage.

- throwaway0a5e 6y ago$2000/mo take home in a cheap area is great. $2000 gross is going to be a lesson about taxes.
- phil21 6y ago> $2000 gross is going to be a lesson about taxes. Depends on state and family status, but probably not. Someone making $28k/yr is paying pretty much FICA taxes and not much else federally speaking. If they happen to have any dependents then they are probably paying negative tax rates via the EITC. Sometimes substantially so. Source: I do taxes for a about a dozen folks "back home" growing up in a more economically disadvantaged area than average.
