Poll question: What dollar amount per hour could a person live on today?
Advertisements [?]
I am interested to see peoples opinions on what dollar amount a person could currently live on where we currently stand at in the economy today.

I realize there are hundreds of variables here so let's make things simple.

Let's assume we are talking about a single person in good health. Let's say this person is NOT living in one of the ultra high cost of living areas like NYC, parts of California, etc.

Let's say this person is working full time 40 hour weeks.

Let's say this person has the following benefits:

*Full medical coverage. Let's say $60/month premium.
*401K with match
*Pension plan
*2 weeks paid vacation
*Six paid national holidays a year

I think this sums up the "average" person in the middle working full time. So the question is - At what lowest dollar amount could this person live with out having to worry about one missed paycheck causing serious living problems?
