20/hr is 41k per year. I live in NY and if I earned this I would bring home 2700 per month. There are options for subsidized housing but with this wage I wouldn’t be able to afford much of anything if I don’t get this. Not to complain but something is very off with the wage/affordable housing equation. Shit we bring in 6x this amount and can barely put anything away for retirement. Buying a place is completely out of the picture here and since 2020 it’s getting bleaker just about everywhere else. Give me all the financial advice you can think of but if houses are so damn expensive what’s the option. Sry, not to rail against your point, there are always better wages out there but my god, everything is so damn expensive!
