Reply to comment by Evening_Midnight7 in Is $25/hr job full time enough to live in Lynnwood Washington? by BlueJerrico

I've got a retirement plan, and between that, taxes, and health insurance, my take home pay is usually about 65% of what I make hourly.

Really an actual living wage, one where you maybe have a chance to save some money each month, pay all your bills, buy food, and afford anything else that comes up, would be at least 30 dollars per hour. Especially considering what rent costs here. So many jobs are trying to pay people around 20-22 dollars an hour here. Or even less.
