    That works too. Although good salary is relative, because the average home price in my area is 550k, and you shouldn’t spend more than 25% of your pre-tax income one housing, so the salary would need to be at least 140k to be considered “good”

      Although good salary is relative

      At one point, way the fuck back in 2008, Obama toyed with the idea of a program to hire college seniors for a 100 hour period of community service that would pay $40/hr. This was pitched as a compromise with the Booker / Clinton “baby bond” proposal that suggested everyone simply get a $2500 bond at birth which would mature to $5000 by the time they were 18.

      $40/hr for a kid out of high school in 2008 was fucking phenomenal. So of course the idea never got past white papers.
