Yes, but I voted no anyway, out of solidarity and to counteract Xahar.

Keep in mind that though I only make around $15,000/year plus maybe another ten grand from home, I live in a place where rent is around $100.

I love the poorest counties map though.

I make USD$6000 or so, and probably get about USD$2000 from my parents over the course of the year.

Said no, but it depends whether you count scholarships.

Yes.

Hell, I made more than the top 10 in high school.

If we don't count scholarships and money from parents I personally make something around $4000 a year.

Absolutely.  I think even the minimum wage workers at fast food joints make more than that though.

I don't make any money. I'm a full time student. Maybe next year I will make between twice and thrice 23 grand a year....

No as at present I'm not making at money, actually its one thing I've rather sucked at in the past.

New Jersey has its problems, but excessive poverty is not one of them.  Camden County is probably the poorest, other horrendous places like Paterson and Newark have large affluent areas like Wayne and Chatham in their counties to balance out

More than $22,000/year?  I don't think so...

I was talking more along the lines of the $9,333 at the top of the list.  I make more than $22,000 a year anyway though.

Seriously? I thought you'd make more, especially since you get paid in Euros which are certainly a stronger currency now.

US minimum wage is $6.55 now, so working full time at that would indeed give you around $13k a year, hence higher.

How much I make varies a lot because how much I work varies a lot, but on an average month I'm below 1440 Euros from all sources (which at current rates translates to 22,000 Dollars a year).
