How much people need to earn to SURVIVE in Joe Biden's America

Residents in the nation's capital need to earn nearly $42,000 a year - the highest in the country - to meet their basic needs, according to the latest Living Wage Calculator released by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In contrast to Washington, D.C, those in South Dakota can subsist on an annual salary of $26,225, according to MIT's living wage index.

The Living Wage Calculator estimates the minimum income necessary for a single person to meet their basic needs and stay above the poverty line, without additional help, in every state.

The calculator took food, health care, housing, transportations, clothing and other necessities in to account, but a recent update now includes cell phone and Wi-Fi expenses as well.

Civic engagements expenditures, such as pets, clubs movie tickets and museum excursions have also been included.

Don't wanna tell you the truth...

That's about how I feel every day, every minute.

A person can easily live on $1,000 or even $500 a month in most places. In my city, I see a couple of ads for roommate wanted $125/month. You can feed yourself on $250/month or less and secondhand clothes are basically free. There may be public transportation or else you can walk or buy a used bicycle for $20.

Those numbers vary even more widely and wildly from city to city and town to town.
