Looked up outta random curiosity

So, I looked up an adjusted cost of living for reno in 2026.

If it was purely price inflation, with no added increases from migrations and USA Parkway job transfers, you could survive on $16 to $20 an hour in 2026, instead of the strict $24 an hour margin, with migrations added.

30 to 40, if you wanna live *comfortably*, and not just survive.

This is *single* income, btw.

For dual income, you both would have to make, at least, $16 an hour with all current factors accounted for.

On an added note, to give an idea on housing cost difference, a one bed apartment would've been between $800 and $900 a month, instead of the current $1300 to $1500.

Part of me kinda feels vindicated for being right about inflation not being as bad by itself versus the migrations adding on top of it.

Another part just feels disappointed, though.

Apologies if this info doesn't matter, or has already been discussed before. Kinda just wanted to share some late night thoughts before heading to bed.
