yeesh, is the cost of living really high in general where you are? My wage is shit but at least I can (barely) afford groceries.
I'm in A Philly suburb. Philly itself is cheaper than a lot of big cities but it's still a big city. My area is solidly middle class. Houses aren't that bad where I live but they're starting to average 500k for 2 stories which is insane to me. CORRECTION: My parents paid 85k for the first house we lived in back in the beginning of the 90s. They sold it for 183k. The second house we rented was $1700 a month but is up to $2600 a month. Single story 3 bed 1 bath ranchers are going for 350k which is also insane.
Oh and here's a receipt from my shopping for today. Just the old cuts are marked.
