Minimum wages or salary?

[Nuke17]

I want to ask, What is the basic salary you require to meet your standards where you are currently living? Please state your country and state if possible.

I hope you're sitting down...

To live comfortably in Manhattan, a single adult would need an annual salary of approximately $138,570, which equates to an hourly wage of $66.62. This estimate is based on the 50/30/20 budget rule, allocating 50% of income to necessities, 30% to discretionary spending, and 20% to savings or debt. For a more modest lifestyle, an income of around $75,000 to $100,000 annually might suffice, depending on living arrangements and lifestyle choices.
A family of four in Manhattan would need to earn approximately $318,406 annually to live comfortably. This estimate is based on the 50/30/20 budget rule, which allocates 50% of income to necessities, 30% to discretionary spending, and 20% to savings or debt repayment.

We live in a bad state (but one of the top state to live in rich) for minimum wage which is only 7.75 per hour. NC

My wife and I have no debt but live in an expensive Democrat run state. It would take 100K for the two of us to just barely scrape by
