And $12-15/hr is a completely reasonable wage for an adult in many states.

Which states? And can they have the same kind of financial freedom like the 80s?

Many of the southern and central US states with low cost of living, like Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, etc. You're not going to be rich, but you could afford housing, food, and other basic necessities.

An equivalent yearly salary in SF, for example, is $45-56k/year (cost of living calculator), or $22-28/hr. You certainly couldn't survive on $12-15/hr in SF, but $22-28 might be doable.

Calculations assume 8 hours/day and 250 work days per year.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
