What do you guys define as a livable wage?

10M SNTVT / week.

enough money to pay for utilities, housing, food and medical care

You dont starve or freeze to death.

You guys are confusing a wage that can sustain life and a wage you want.

Nice alternative facts there broski,
>also your robert mugabe images don't take into account that the EU dumps a metric fuckton of exccess goods (because of subsidies paid to farmers in EU economic bloc) onto the African markets, eskewing the price of their domestic markets which they are unable to provide at the same low cost - hence why they are incredibly poor. Also China is pillaging their natural resources for very little in return just like how Australia did to Papua New Guinea back in the 70s

Not necessarily a specific salary but a cost of living when reflected equates to a housing cost of 25% to 35% MAX.

That's honestly the biggest problem when it comes to "livable" wage. Housing inequality is the biggest threat to our democracy right now. But no one cares. So whatever.

Anywhere that isn't LA, NYC, Miami, or San Fran? You don't have to buy a 500,000 dollar home, or two 60k cars you know? You can find decent homes for less than 250k, and buying a car that is 2 or 3 years olds will save you like 80% of the total cost.

True average wage/ salary is still under 40k for close to 65% of the population. I'll place a good bet those at the higher end of that are employed in big cities like you mentioned.

Being employed in a big city doesn't mean you have to live in it.
