the thing is its decent if u didnt go to school. if you spent 30k for a 4 year education, 25k a year is bullshyt. I lucked up. I dropped out of college, started working for a big company, worked hard and got a couple promotions. where I live all I see is positions offering 12 and 15 a hour. all indeed have thats over 50k is sales and tech jobs or management jobs that want 10 plus years experience.$10-$15/hr. is not a low wage.
Works out to $1600 - $2400/mo. before taxes.
That's $19k/yr - $28k./yr.
For a single person (which is the majority of you), that's decent money.
You dudes have some very strange ideas about what constitutes 'broke'.
