I'm late but the "Average American makes 50k" thing is disingenuous at best.

First of all that's household income. As in combined wealth.

Secondly, the 1% or so of Americans that are wealthy skew those numbers as well. If you don't count those 1% of Americans the average goes down to.....just over 30k.

I still maintain that the majority of people who think $15 a hour is chump change live in expensive cities and/or have serious debt. (Most likely from school)

Using this calculator, it tells me that what I can get for 30k in my general area I would have to make 47+k to get in LA.

Those are women with low self-esteem who don't knkw their worth. Unfortunately, many women like tgis especially among black women.

To answer the question, my bf makes in the $10-$15 range.
I do as well. However we're both in college.
I make more money than he does. When I finish college this year, and get into my career, I'll be making a lot more than he does. He's getting his bachelors, but he won't be done for another 2 years.
He could have taken the police officers exam that was held recently, but he wants to finish college, since the govt is paying for it (he was in the marines)

Assuming that we'll still be together when he gets into his career, I'll probably still be making more than him

Yep. There are a lot of Black women going to work in the morning while the "dikk on demand" stays at home and plays XBox, smokes weed, raids the fridge and sleeps.

:stopitslime:whats wrong with $15 an hour:childplease:

There is nothing wrong with it, but if have goals for your salary then you're going to want to make more money and there is nothing wrong with that. Just because you're paid more than the dude making minimum wage, doesn't mean that's where you need to stay.

My goals for my net pay are to save 10%, invest 15%, give 5-10% and be able to pay bills, having spending money, etc with the rest. So either I have to make more money or live more frugally and I try to do both , but although I make a decent salary, I still need to make more in order to achieve those goals.
