TL;DR: Americans now need to make $120K a year to afford a typical middle-class life and qualify to purchase a home. Minimum.

    Yeah, I get it…I know it doesn’t come through a simple text question, but I wasn’t born yesterday 😉

    I wasn’t really asking from the standpoint of every single person’s circumstances from the well off to the impoverished. It was more of what would you do if there was choice.

    I know people who were behind on rent, scraped enough gas money to just drive ina direction and found themselves somewhere they could make under the table money to get started in another place.

    That’s a hard and scary thing to do. If you have a family, almost impossible unless you’re on the edge.
