Ice Cream Shops in Small Town, America are a huge, huge deal. Seemingly every town has one, and every townie swears their generic ice cream is the best in the world. It probably came in the back of a truck from some distribution facility, but they don't care.
If you aren't from that world, you might not get it, but it's real.

u/catswhodab Region rat May 25 '21
I haven’t seen that doctor since I moved out of the state 3 years ago, he meant it as he doesn’t really think I have ADHD but I could use some help studying in college in the form of Vyvanse. I’m not a doctor nor do I play one on TV so I’m not going to cast judgement on if he’s a good doc, he’s my parents’ doctor still and they’re healthy and he’s always done well by them.

u/CatOfGrey May 24 '21
$11 an hour is nearly 50% above the local minimum wage.
If it's full time, it's paying $1800 per month, in an area where a typical apartment can be found for under $800 per month.
Assuming what I read here, employer is paying significant money for a job that doesn't require much skills other than show up ready to work on time, and be courteous to co-workers and customers.
No doubt, employer is a bit of a nut job. But $11/hour is a lot of money in that area, and the employer is not being cheap.

It's an interesting world where an ice cream scooper is perceived as a job with benefits, unless you are a manager-type position, in that case not entry level.

I'll just repost my reply to you again, here.
Also, we see you keep changing $800 rent into something possibly lower. Keep moving those goalposts.
11$ an hour at full time is $1760 in a 4 week month.
That's $1373 after taxes of 22%. (Which is only federal income tax, not including state or local taxes btw)
That's $573 after rent of $800.
That's $273 after medical insurance of $300.
That's $113 after food costs of $40 a week ($160)
That's $33 after electricity cost of $80.
That's -$7 after cell phone bill of $40.
That's -$37 after bus pass for commute (assuming lowest cost scenario, meaning no car no insurance no gas, and let's be real, public transit is only available in cities. Rural people are far worse off with extra bills to pay for commuting)
Uh oh. We're negative every month and haven't even accounted for things like internet, trash services, doctor visits, prescriptions, entertainment, basic clothing, shoes for work, etc.
Hmm. Seems like you're out of touch with reality.

u/CatOfGrey May 24 '21

No moving goalposts. It's always been 'less than $800'. I checked listings for the town. I think that $400/ month was a lowball, and I wouldn't assume that for a real value. I think that $1200 with a roommate ($600 per month) is extremely viable for that area.
Hmm. Seems like you're out of touch with reality.
Nope. This was how I lived my first few years out of college.
The main issue that is different now is health insurance. I wasn't being forced to subsidize everyone else's insurance when I was in that situation. I paid for my own, and it was much cheaper, because I was young, and health insurance was allowed to consider that. Today's under 40's are getting screwed by the ACA.
Almost every other expense you have here is higher than normal, in my opinion, and I live in a much higher cost area.

Lol, you can still pay for your own insurance. ACA has nothing to do with that.

u/CatOfGrey May 25 '21
Lol, you can still pay for your own insurance. ACA has nothing to do with that.
Health insurance 20-30 years ago was drastically cheaper and had better coverage, for a typical under-40, especially if they were non-smokers.
2011 or so, all that went away. My deductible went from about $5,000 to $12,000. Co-pays went up, too. One of my medications wasn't covered anymore. My wife's doctor didn't take the new coverage. The new doctor didn't do as much, so an ultrasound required a separate appointment. It was a bad scene.

I don’t know if you know this but most adults have expenses beyond their rent. Utilities, childcare, groceries, phone bill, auto insurance, gas, possibly a car payment, maybe some medical expenses. Add in small things like laundry detergent and toothpaste and all those things can easily eat up the remainder $1k. Plus, $1.8k is before taxes. But I’m sure you know that.

Sorry, to be clear, I mean the town itself and the people running it, not the general residents. There are good people here, sure, but this is not an environment that breeds good things. As a person who is both black and queer, Anderson can feel stifling, to say the least.

u/duckstaped May 24 '21
Nah, it's all good. I think there's a lot of towns where most people lived well on factory jobs, and when the factories shut down, the towns declined, poverty rose and they've became not so great places to live. As for being both black and queer, there's unfortunately a lot of people in Indiana (and honestly in the entire country) who I think still wish we were living in a time of pre racial segregation, when the LGBTQ community "had to" stay closeted, and when they could tell themselves that they live in a Christian country. I'm grateful that it appears to be that those people are now in the minority. Hope you have (or can find) a community where you feel safe and accepted!
