Sorry, a minimum wage person can NOT in any way afford $600 a month for an apartment, if THAT is what you are saying? A minimum wage person working full time, 40 hours a week- GROSS income is around $1200 a month, and probably around $1000 net a month once payroll taxes and their share of health care insurance is paid..... Your rent should be around 25%-35% max of your monthly income in order to be able to 'get by and pay all of your other bills, and retirement/401k's.So the cashier at MickyD's should live in a dirt hovel with 30 other people then?I sure hope that all the anti worker posters in this thread are business owners.
Because if they're not, the are really fucking stupid people.
We actually have marketable skills. Unlike the cashier at MickyDs.
Exaggerate much?
Dont know where you live but here in Houston you can get an all bills paid one bedroom apartment for 600 a month.
Even a min wage worker can afford that. And if they want nicer digs they can get a fucken room mate.
And to tell you the truth I dont give a rats ass what happens to an adult who works min wage.
