:leon: Calculating a living wage across the United States
- Thread starter Serious
- Start date
Seems like once you have that first child you better be making that money or you are screwed. Also, the minimum wage doesn't even cover basic living standards for a single person with no kids. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise.

It said the living wage for someone with one kid, where I live is 50k 
I don't how people do it.
Even with dual incomes some families barely even clear 50k.

Kids are expensive
Based on this, I'd just barely be able to support two kids solo, or three if I was married and the wife could watch kids during the day (meaning I didn't have to pay for daycare/babysitter).
Childcare is no joke....$1,038/mo for daycare for three kids?
Still single and childless tho.
