I’d love to know how teachers at schools survive in LA (or even SF). Unless their husbands or partners are loaded (which I doubt) and this is just a side income job, most schools need teachers and I’d love to know what areas they live in, what their travel is and if it’s even worthit. (I am a teacher considering a move there but it’s hugely expensive and the travel would not even warrant working at most schools).
I work as a BI in special education,the pay is ok but we get a lot of holidays which is not great.I have no debt and I split the rent with my boyfriend.Im getting my property management license so that I can get a lower rent.. Overall,it's affordable if you are educated and have a well paying job.
You used quite a wide range when talking about tax brackets. $61k to $300k and then said the that's the tax bracket may be most people are in. No. People making 300k or more are less than 4% of Los Angeles. The median household income is around 50-60k. Remember, huge swathes of LA are working class or poor as fuck. Also people talk about California taxes in a way that's highly misleading. They state marginal tax rates and then often the top marginal tax rate of 13% to yell about low high California taxes are. But nobody is paying that number. A person with a 60k a year income filing as single has an effective state tax rate of 3.67%. If you make 100k a year you are paying an effective tax rate of 5.84%. Often people look at the income tax bracket for that income and assume the entire income is taxed at that rate. Only a portion of your income is taxed at the rate of the bracket you're in. You can go to the California income tax calculator site and plug in these figures. Another thing to remember is that California's tax system is highly progressive so people in the middle income range have an effective tax rate similar to most other states with income taxes. A place like Texas while there is no income tax, when you factor in all taxes you pay more in Texas as a working class or middle income person than in California. Texas only starts to make sense once you start getting up in income. That's because Texas has a regressive tax system, like most states with no income tax. If you pay no income tax they make up for it with either high property tax or high sales tax.
Very good, Pearce. Thank you.
