I make about 14$/hr in a low stress entry level solo job (full time)
Area/State: small town with a population of less than 10k people, in a state where the minimum wage is still 7.25$
Although I technically make double the minimum wage and my COL calculator says it’s about 12$ for a single adult/0 child in my county, it doesn’t feel enough?
A lot of people on the personal finance subs are from city’s so it makes my wage feel like peanuts. Is 15$ for them equivalent to 7.25$ for us?
Any statistics for wages/median for people in states/areas like mine?
