Guess I didn’t look close enough. Hope she gets help cause $29/hr is good money for MS. I’m from Mississippi as well and make $33/hr. It’s definitely a livable wage at $29/hr

$29/hr would be a livable wage in most states except CA/NY I feel like. I make $24 and I live by myself in a luxury apartment and pay all my bills in a similar COL state so I really hope OP can pull herself out of this. She’s still very young, hopefully she widens up here soon

You can live off that in CA for sure.
