What is a living wage in your opinion?

This varies from area to area I know but what do you think it would be.

I know health insurance alone for my daughter and I was over a grad a month a few years ago when I could still pay it. Add to take rent around these parts is at least $800 for the bottom end rat infested one bedrooms.

So before food and car electric and heat you are looking at 2 grand a month after tax.

I'd say you need a grand a week to take care of yourself and a kid living very very small.

So say $25 an hour is a living wage. ?????
