You try living on 42k/year in a metropolitan area and tell me how it works out for you.
I’m not the person you are replying to, but I take your point and agree with you in principle. However, you didn’t really address their point that $42k is the median household income in her area. So at least half the households (not just individuals) are trying it. But I don’t know how it’s working out for them.
Perhaps that region is quite affordable or has a low cost of living or is crime ridden, idk.
Hello!
I couldn’t get your link to work to check your source, but data commons said the median personal income for St Loius in 2022 was around 35k.
I believe the data came from the US census, so it includes students and retirees. It is probably safe to assume that household median has gone up since 2016. She probably earned a living wage, but not the living comfortably wage I believe teachers deserve. (Not trying to start an arguement, just trying to be helpful.) Have a good day!
