A Reddit post from a healthcare worker highlighted how quickly the value of a $60,000 salary has eroded.
In 2013, earning that amount in Michigan felt like an escape from poverty and a gateway into the middle class. With a $430 monthly mortgage, life felt stable. But just six years later, the situation had changed dramatically.
