Reply to comment by toobadkittykat in What do you consider to be a "good" salary/hourly pay in Washington State? by Total-Group-9364

I agree. This sounds good compared to what a lot of people make, but you’re going to struggle to support yourself unless you don’t have a car payment or you have roommates.

I think of a “good” salary as one that affords you to at least modestly support yourself, without needing other people, and be able to save for the future. If you got locked in to a good mortgage/rent price years ago, this could be possible on $30 and hour. Otherwise, no.

that's exactly right , you can see i have been downvoting bc they don't agree as most jobs here don't come close to that . don't worry , just bc i can afford my own apt now doesn't mean i won't be joining the 2or3 roommate bunch this year . rents are going up way faster than pay increases , trust me on that .
