Outside of all the major metropolitan areas, yes. I managed to get a house a few years back at $22 an hour. It's small and a townhouse, but it's mine.

I did the math to afford that home today taking into account increased value and interest rates it would take $30 an hour. It's only been 5 years.

Even after a promotion and raises I still don't make $30 an hour.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
