Here's a living wage estimator: Living Wage Calculator - Introduction to the Living Wage Calculator
For my county, for a family with two adults and two kids the living wage amounts to $63,000 pretax income (or $57,000 after taxes). $50,000 may seem like a lot, but sometimes our perceptions can be off. Now, I haven't examined the assumptions of this model, but I suspect that the model is more robust than your hunch that $50,000/yr is more than adequate for a family of four. |
thats a good web site, but it shows for medical $280.00. I pay $200.00 a week it is close to right but in come things its way off. just depends on what and where you work.
now it seems that because my pay went down drastically over the last 2 years nothing else went down. everything else is on the rise. tax rates, gas prices, health insurance, etc...
correct me if im wrong but it seems to me that the democrats are trying to keep raising the debt limit, if that is the case then we'll never be able to pay it back and the economy will get worse. am i wrong??? can we (the people) view the budget plan?
