$800 is expensive? You get that doing a month of part time at minimum wage.
Unfortunately, people sometimes have other bills to pay
This. Plus, not every can make that depending on where you live. Thats a full paycheck from my other job when I was working full time there. The area has a low cost of living, so people get paid less here...
I wish I could get $800 working part time at minimum wage. Where the hell do you live where can you do that, anyway?
Canada, where TC lives. $11 is lowest minimum wage. If you can't even afford $800 then may be you should just play low end games.
11 at 80 hours every two weeks (assuming you get paid every two weeks) is $880. That would mean a full time job only nets you $880 a month. So, not part time. That being said, if you live on your own, I feel most of that would go to rent. Especially in Canada. I heard rent there was higher than where I live. And then you still have other bills. So, while youre right about being able to buy an $800 computer with a part time job, that leave only $80 to spend on rent, bills, food, etc. So, not really that cheap...
Edit: Though, it actually might not be enough. I forgot to mention taxes. If taxes are taken out of the check, then you may not have enough for that computer with your monthly income of a part time job at minimum wage...
I don't know what math you are doing. 20 hours per week at $11 is $880 in a month. You get tax refund at such low income. If you have a bunch of other expenses then you are probably not just working part time at minimum wage. ---
