    11k is like $5.5/h, assuming you’re working full time. It’s well below minimum wage.

      As stated in the comment you responded to I am no longer working because of injuries and age.

        Are you saying pensions are allowed to go below minimum wage in the U.S.?

            Sounds like you’re vastly outside the norm and your perception may be skewed. You’ll just have to take peoples word that $100k/yr in Manhattan is not “insanely wealthy.”

              Yeah, this is literally an ‘OK Boomer’ moment. Like, how expensive could it really be to live in Manhattan these days?
