Is USA really this bad? 15% not having enough to eat at all times?
Yeah if you're a hot woman maybe or in an expensive restaurant where the typical 15% tip is a high dollar amount.that game isnt very accurate; if you pick waiter as a job you're looking for it lists your wage as $8/hour and says your salary is $262 a week. it doesnt take into account 2/3rds of your salary that is made up of tips. you could easily make $800/week waiting tables

They gotta throw in enough stuff to make it seem impossible. Like having both a near heart attack, a root canal AND being out sick from work monthly. Kid refusing to 'eat the free lunch,' random $7500 credit card debt (WTF), ridiculously high rent cost, and an insanely expensive utility bill for a small apartment. My utilities dont even go that high and I live in a house. Then theres not biking or walking (no car debt) allowed because 'some people live in rural America.'What's this about bank fees if your balance is lower than 50 dollars? My balance is frequently lower than that and nobody takes anything from me!
Then they should move if they can't afford to live in Manhattan or wherever. Seriously. If you can't afford the cost of living, but there are plenty of other affordable places, that person needs to move.Lets all nitpick the insignificant details that don't hold up to our own regional experiences and ignore the whole message of the thing in our fervor to point them out.
Also, I can't believe you still think $800/mo. is high rent Rakurai. We had this discussion already. Not everybody lives in shitty ass Arizona.

$800 a month here would get you a modest size house for rent, or a two bedroom apartment that is VERY nice (crown moulding, nice carpet/appliances, washer/dryer included, cable etc.) For ~$350 a month you can get a budget apartment in an 'okay' area.

Wow. I had to pay more than that last year.. and I had three roommates with there own $800 to pay, electricity was only covered up to $100, electric heat. But, free cable, internet, water, and community washer/dryer (still had to pay per load) and gym. Place was fairly small, but it was also in West Loop Chicago so that says a lot about the price. It was nearly impossible to make ends meet since I was going to college at the time; two jobs, an internship, and student loans...$800 a month here would get you a modest size house for rent, or a two bedroom apartment that is VERY nice (crown moulding, nice carpet/appliances, washer/dryer included, cable etc.) For ~$350 a month you can get a budget apartment in an 'okay' area.
Didn't say that. There are lots of "McJobs" but not enough career jobs available. However- if a person cannot afford the cost of living in one place- but would be able to somewhere else feasable, then they should move to where they can afford the cost of living.So then... the unemployment in this country is a non issue then. That's what I always hear about when people talk about joblessness or low vs moderately waged jobs. It's just people who aren't willing to move to find the jobs or better pay. That certainly doesn't cost a lot of money to move ones entire life around.

that would get you a shitty bachelor apartment in the shitty part of toronto with chalk outlines of the previous inhabitants on the living room floor. or you could move an hour away to butt**** pickering and live in a basement apartment or you could move outside of ontario and live in small town in a remote part of canada. but why the **** would anyone do that? there's a reason some people would much rather live in manhattan than arizona
If they can't afford the price of living in a ritzy area then they need to move to where it's more affordable and they can make ends meet.
The example the game gave was perfect of this idea- living where rent is super expensive when one can barely afford the most basic services is not a good idea. The game would be much easier if it had a realisitic rent price of $350-$550

God are we really going to have this same ****ing discussion again.
I'm not talking about small towns, I'm talking about larger cities where the cost of living is more sane. For example much of the west coast. Las Vegas, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City, Reno, Tucson, etc etc. The list goes on and on, and Krynn- you're just used to East Coast crazy expensive prices. These are not the exception on this side of the nation.that's not feasible for most people. small towns dont have nowhere near as many opportunities for employment that cities do. not too many engineers, doctors or lawyers or hell designers want to live in a small town where's there's 2 people doing what they do if any at all. job opportunities for anything other than labour or hospitality service jobs are scarce in small towns because it doesnt have the infrastructure to support those industries
holy **** where the hell can you rent an apartment for $350? you couldnt rent a garage for that price in toronto. people often have no choice but to live in an area where rent is super expensive. if I worked in downtown toronto living in an area where $800 is an average price for apartments means commuting 4 hrs a day and adding easily $400 to your monthly gas bill not to mention the cost of insurance maintenance, the effect on your family etc etc

Here's a prime example from a 2 second google search. Right in the MIDDLE of the big CITY (not backwoods, not far. Mass transit all over, etc)

When you're trying to survive it's time to stop thinking about 'being high class' or 'having the right zipcode' and move to a place where you can afford to live. There is opportunity in these areas just like over there. If it's been two years out of work and cannot find a single position in the typical field (investment banking for NYC, etc) then it's time to enter a new field.phoenix is small in comparison to toronto or any other world class city
