I'm also betting that the 38k is before taxes, so don't forget to subtract 27 - 33%, bringing your yearly income to around 27.74 to 25.46. So, that's about 1067 to 979 dollars a pay period (there are 52 weeks in a year, assuming that they are paid once every other wek. There will be 2 months where they will receive an extra pay period). That's gonna be pretty tough to survive in S. Cal. on.
