Just wondering how we stack up compared to other forums

As of jan 1, 2022, the answers here are:

13 ppl pay =< 33% of monthly income on rent / property tax

6 ppl pay > 33% of monthly income on rent / property tax

    Nitpicking, but this is not obvious across all industries. In many fields, people’s wages barely go up with time.

      If a job’s income does not go up over 20 years, that is hardly very sustainable…

        It usually goes up, though not necessarily faster than inflation. Outside of IT and public service, many older people are still paid minimum wage. (i don’t have stats on that sorry)

          True I was in public service (IT side) and although is not the best, the benefits add up, as does the annual increases over the years (problem is many can’t stick it out that long, especially in public service)…

            Public service IT (except for secret services / military) sounds good indeed :)
