And even then those going in the right direction most likely better their situation. May not get on Forbes but i'm willing to bet most can easily make 35k+ or more. Enough to live comfortably in most cases and not in the ghetto.

I disagree that 35K is enough to get away from the ghetto, at least here in Nor-Cal.

Then again that may be true for someone that knows how to budget

It's not enough for someone living alone in most of California... but in this country one may relocate at will to many other places where it is plenty to live safely and securely.

It is all about budgeting. I know someone in my family that lives in EG on a similar salary.

Assuming that when they move they get the same pay at there new job. If the cost of living is lower than the wages will most likely be lower.

True but not by much. Depends on the line of work. My father bought a home in Sacramento on a 35k salary for $30,000 back in 1977. He makes about 38-40k a year now in Sacramento and now pays $1000+ rent for a duplex.
