40 hours per week should be enough to afford a small house or at least an apartment, even if you're working fast food. House and apartment costs are out of control.
In my city you have to make 1.5x minimum wage at 40 hours per week just to barely afford the absolute shittiest apartments (using the monthly income = 3x rent rule).

All the migrants that have moved in are now competition. They are willing to have low quality living for the dollar. Resulting in you paying much much more to have a human standard of living.

It's double sad when you get a killer job through hard work and dedication only to realize that's the bare minimum now. When 40 years ago you'd be well off.
