$1,200 a month at 40 hours a week.
If I were to stop enjoying the company of my parents and go to my Airstream trailer on 2 acres of land with some chickens, would I suddenly turn into a victimized and oppressed liberal yelling for entitlements?
I am genuinely curious.
It's far more important what you can do with those 1200 in your area rather than the sum to understand if your poor or no.
I doubt that in the us the is no difference between how expensive is to live in one city compared to a small town.
