    Define “the US” because 25 an hour is living a life of luxury in much of the US that’s not a major city

          $52k before taxes, about $41k after. It’s an ok wage a lot of places but I defniitely wouldn’t call it a “life of luxury” anywhere in the U.S. and I’m from one of the LCOL places in the U.S., the midwest.

          You definitely won’t starve but you’re also not going to retire early.

              $50k is still very much working class. Yeah you own a car but it’s a 7yr old Nissan sedan, nothing luxurious about it. At $50k you’re not missing that many paychecks before it becomes a very real issue I promise.

          Until you need a doctor and suddenly discover a lot of rural areas don’t have any.
