Topic	You can't afford much on minimum wage... but
_Rinku_ 08/05/18 12:41:13 AM #28:	Kineth posted... Questionmarktarius posted... Rika_Furude posted... minimum wage should be a livable wage, theres no legitimate reason to disagree here. It is a livable wage, if you weren't stupid enough to have three or four kids first. $15000 a year isn't living great, but it's not starving. 15000 a year including gas, rent, phone bill and maybe food ain't much at all. Rent should only be a third of your income. Where I live, a one bedroom apartment in the bad part of town is over $500/month. That's close to half your yearly income. (Also, that 15k/year is pre-taxes and assumes you're getting 40 hours a week, which most minimum wage jobs don't give). <cite>_Rinku_ posted [p:906288675] in You can...
