(+) Yeah! (+)

What do you think?

Assuming it's full time. They would be solid money most places in the U.S. Not everywhere, but a lot of places.

---

It is decent money if you're still in school.

Depends on where you live and your family situation, but assuming full-time work, 50k a year isn't bad at all.

It depends on where you live, like always.

For me, that's decent money but not really enough to support a family or have enough "play" money.

I was able to pay off my mortgage 10 years early making $20

comes out to approx $50k/year. it's a solid living in a moderate CoL area, but not in a place like NYC or SF

Lets say youre single but live in Seattle

Single with no kids and spending responsibly you can live comfortably TC

Its below a living wage when you account for inflation, yet its more than three times the federal minimum wage. My answer is no.

Also, you cannot predict what it adds up to in a year. Hourly wage does not mean youre getting five eight-hour shifts per week. More often than not, you get sent home early because corporate doesnt want to pay you.

With that said, I would probably accept it because nobody else wants to pay more than $15/hr, which is pretty much top dollar now.

it's good, even great if you don't like in an expensive city
