That's basically all they can do is survive. Living to pay bills. Hoping that one day it will get better, but it doesnt until that one day they decide, you know what.... $%%# this %##% and they go back to school or start hustling.

When you making that type of money. You are doing what you have to do to make ends meet. Some settle, some rise.

Some states are different. The Federal minimum wage is $7.25

I'm glad to say that as each job i've moved on to my wages have gone up

The only way to survive on minimum wage with kids is with government assistance. I'm single and make more than double minimum wage and it's still not even that much. Especially living in California

 

[dnero1]

dude and family prolly get govt assistance!

 

[djyoung08]

With added handouts

Hustle that hard white on the side.

Selling weed, my supervisor from my last job used to do that. Minimum wage + selling weed + government assistance = dude not having a care in the world. Its not like he'll ever have more than 100K, oh well...

Has to be against some kinda law right?

If you stay somewhere and they aren't trying to give you more $ then they know you are a sucker.

Common sense would tell him to look elsewhere

Thing is, they don't live, they survive until next paycheck.
