I built a tool that tracks SSD prices across Amazon US. It calculates the real cost per GB and lets you compare new vs used drives.
The tool updates every few hours and lets you filter by capacity, form factor, and condition.
Would love to hear your feedback!
I'd like a filter that removes the "pack of 10" and similar entries. They also don't seem to compute $/TB correctly, which adds to the frustration.
Many young people I know live on much less than this.
This is more like “optimal wage to live alone in my own apartment with a car.” Which of course, people would like to have but certainly isn’t required to be comfortable.
For example, transportation costs are $9000/year and housing is $20000/year. These are both way more than is necessary.
They need better branding because calling this a living wage is a misnomer and harming their cause.
Even on the smaller things. "Internet & Mobile" for where I am jumped out to me. Based on the difference between 1 adult and 2 adults, it's $582 per person-year for mobile (which I guess isn't far off if you get a good new phone every 2 years, it's reasonable enough) and with that subtracted, internet is $100 per month. The methodology page says "County-level data on the cost of internet comes from research on lowest-cost monthly plans from BroadbandNow", but even that page shows much cheaper options available (including the $70 per month Google Fiber I have).
