Which is nuts, because a two bedroom (hope your kids are the same gender) place is gonna be 24k of that. So 8k left over for insurance (car, life, home, and medical) food, childcare, all other bills, taxes, Christmas, school supplies, children’s clothes and shoes. It’s way below the number that would cover half of that.
The poverty line is about 32K for a family of four, and 15K for a single person.
fed minimum wage full time is a income of 15K per year. this of course, varies by state, w/ CA min wage becoming 36K a year.
I truly feel for the people that are in that boat…

Plus in all too many places you’re practically forced to buy a car
