Sixteen dollars an hour = $33,280 per year. In a really cheap city you can buy a house for that much. Houses in this area are 4X my annual salary. Although 10 years ago, they were only 2.5X my then salary, approximately.

I pine for that ratio. Here in sunny Southern California, that would barely be 5% down on an entry level, 3 bed fixer upper in a nice area. I wonder what the commute is like between LA and West Virginia?
