Is $3000 enough to live on there? My rent is $1700/month and food is about $150/week. Transportation is all personal so $4.25/gallon for gas on a commute that's usually 30-45 minutes. Health insurance is around $500/month per person, childcare is $1200-$2000/month until they reach 5.
$31,000 is the median wage, so a lot of people make like than that and have to deal with the same expenses I just listed. It's insane how little money is actually worth in America
It depends on where you live. It's pretty bad in the cities where the rent eats up a huge chunk of that. I'm in an area where the house was built myself and I'm so far removed from civilization that they don't really bother to make me pay property taxes. Health insurance and food/water is what eats it all up.
