How to survivr

Serious question for California employees only: How are you guys surviving on these McDonald’s-level wages?

With rent, mortgages, groceries, gas, insurance and everything else costing what it does in California, I genuinely don’t understand how some of these salaries are supposed to be enough.

I’m especially curious about people making around $50k–$70k a year. Are you living with family, splitting rent, working a second job, or just barely getting by?

California responses only please. I’m not interested in hearing how $60k is “great money” in Mississippi, Oklahoma, or some random low-cost state. I’m specifically asking how people make it work in California.

BofA minimum wage and average annual earnings are multiples of McDonalds’ minimum wage and average annual earnings

@a4 Bravo, bravo! You have proven that you are truly an artist of thy English language and a master in the highest degree in the art of hiding behind your keyboard and crushing what appears to be a legitimate question.

Short version: You are a jagoff.

@OP I hope your question is for CA employees who are not 100 percent WFH. There is a CA employee in my group with no office. As there is no commute for this person, no concerns on vehicle wear and tear, no additional cost in fuel, and no additional time wasted to and from office. Yes, the person's wage as a B6 is minimal but manageable. Plus, the employee made the choice to remain in CA.

The person is making at least $25/hour minimum BofA wage. McD's minimum is $20 in CA. At least $10000 difference between both at full time.

And here we see Ho-o Facebookus confronting one of nature’s great mysteries.

“How,” it cries, “can anyone survive on fifty to seventy thousand dollars in California?”

It then proposes living with family, sharing rent, working additional jobs, and barely getting by.

In a remarkable evolutionary development, the animal has successfully answered its own question before finishing the post.

But it does not recognize this.

Instead, it erects a defensive perimeter around California, apparently fearing that someone from Oklahoma may wander in and disturb the experiment.

There is nothing more we can do here.

We must leave it as we found it.

Magnificent.
