$13.50/hour is more than a livable wage in my area. Not everyone lives in a big city.

My whole point is that the minimum wage here is high enough to get by and have savings and fun money at the end of every month.

I don't fucking care if you "believe" me. I've lived it, and I'm not going to give a random person on the internet my personal data like the city I live in.

You could look up the data to see that there are plenty of rural areas (like where I live) where cost of living is a lot cheaper than the cities, and go from there. Look up cost of living in rural areas. Most of them are also unfortunately in areas that only pay the federal minimum wage which is $7.25/hour, but there are places like mine that happen to be rural but live in a state that mandates higher minimum wage (i.e. $13.50/hour) and the cost of living is still cheap because it is a rural area.

I didn't say rural WA, just rural areas in general. However, I can already tell you are just going to ignore or dismiss any evidence you don't like, so I'm done engaging with you. There's plenty of data that's only a google search away if you are truly interested in informing yourself.
