My dude...the average income for a man in Cali is 75k. If a nicca can't make 99k work and feels like he's teetering on the poverty line...he's just abysmal with his bread.
do you lack reading skills? I
clearly said in the major cities. $120k is considered barely above poverty in San Francisco.
Do you know what average means? California is 50 million people
30 million of them between LA and Bay Area. The main cities. Where most people make $80-120+k. Still paycheck to paycheck cause of cost of living and high taxes. What good is $75k if your rent is $4k a month? Calculate that $75k after taxes for me champ and tell me if you can cover $4k rent and your bills with it.
$75k is highly inflated due to all the tech jobs that pay $100k. While people can live in some place like Bakersfield or fresno or stockton or outside LA and make $50-60k and be fine.
