For a family of 4. At least as far as the federal government is concerned. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago That’s amazing to me. It’s me and my two kids, I’m lucky enough to have been able to recently purchase a house but up to six months ago we were living in a two bedroom 900 sq ft apartment and it cost $1300 a month. This is in Ohio, not anything I would think is high cost of living area. Boys were getting old enough that sharing a room and not having space apart was starting to present issues. Nothing bad just felt bad about our living situation. I couldn’t find anything with three bedrooms for under $2200 a month. How the hell does a family of four survive on $26k, seriously what do people do? permalink fedilink source parent
