    I was slightly exaggerating sure, but 25 an hour outside of a city is a lot of money.

      $25/hr is barely a living wage.

      Are you factoring in vehicle payments, maintenance, insurance and fuel?

      A lot of people have a cheap transit option in the city.

        Yes. When I lived out there I would’ve killed for 25 an hour. I was making 7.50 an hour and with a roommate I lived pretty okay. At 25 I could’ve lived alone and still saved

            Three or four years at this point, so technically not including some of the ridiculous inflation, but the cost of living in that area has barely increased. Rent is $900 on average there right now, so if you’re pulling in 25 an hour you’re making plenty to live alone relatively comfortably

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