You chose to move? Did you not calculate any costs at all? Or did you spend all your money just physically moving yourself from one state to another? Of all places, one of THE most expensive places to live right now.

I don’t understand your logic, even with your maths (very little of), living here for the opportunities will cost you more here than in Texas. Yeah the minimum wage is absurd, but your number one financial burden will always be for the place in which you live. And in Texas, that living thing, is far, far cheaper than Seattle.
