shssh... Don't tell anyone but the economy seriously sucks, thanks Obama.

"The "raw" average wage, computed as net compensation divided by the number of wage earners, is $7,050,259,213,644.55 divided by 158,186,786, or $44,569.20. Based on data in the table below, about 67.2 percent of wage earners had net compensation less than or equal to the $44,569.20 raw average wage. By definition, 50 percent of wage earners had net compensation less than or equal to the median wage, which is estimated to be $28,851.21 for 2014."

If you look at the average wage, most of the people working in this area make less than that. Only about six to seven percent of people here make the average wage. If you are making twenty bucks an hour, working full time year round, you make about forty grand a year. For a married couple with a couple of kids, that is not really enough unless you inherited the home you live in. Most people get their parents home, sell it, and use the money as a downpayment on a lots nicer home and live in debt. I don't know why they do it, the home was good enough for their parents and themselves as they grew up. Society has gone amuck.

You're never alone in your struggles, we all struggle with something.
