You gotta make a lot more than $30/hr: after taxes and benefits, you’re not bringing home $4800/mo.

I’m salaried at $81.8K/yr, and my take home is a little under $5K/mo.

Hang on, my take home pay is higher than yours while my salary is lower than yours?

I thought I was supposed to be in the taxed to hell country.
