    $60k will get you a liveable house in certain parts of the country. Even in walkable, friendly, safe towns. The problem is that they’re not near jobs that pay more than $8/hr. I was lucky to get a fully remote job before Covid and bought a tiny 800 sqft cottage for a year’s salary. I just checked and see that homes of that size are still just as cheap in that town.
