Comment on Just work a little harder
Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoDepends on your area (because of the housing market and local cost of living), but in my area in California, if you are not making $150,000 or more annually expect to be in a lot of debt and never owning a home.

I’m assuming that’s a pretty high cost of living area compared to Bumfuck, NW though. Sucks for anyone working a low wage job in said HCoL area of course, but this is somewhat of a state issue rather than a federal one, since HCoL states and areas should have higher minimum wage than federal minimum wage. And I mean California is at least doing that already, but I think even Cali needs to double its current minimum wage.

We have I believe the second or the highest minimum wage in the nation. Although our housing/utilities market is the most fucked up.
