I own a business too, and it pays me 100k. I like it that way because someday I would like to be able to get a little social security in addition to what I've invested.

Get a skill faggots

yay inflation!

Literally no one plays minimum wage in the US anymore because it's so laughably low. Corporations have completely invalidated it by bribing politicians to keep it way lower than it should be so they can pay lower wages than they should be paying. Even McDonald's pays like $10 an hour now because they cannot get sla... employees otherwise.

no. my wife and i make about 200k combined

I did live with a small income for many years, roughly 12k/year for 10 years. I did okay, it was actually more than I needed and was able to save up money to buy an apartment as soon as I got a real job. I think I signed the contract on the mortage before I received my first paycheck, it was based on my employee contract alone basically. Last year, I sold that apartment and bought a house. If you don't make a lot of money, I feel for you, this is going to be tough. I thought I had insulated myself from price hikes, but probably won't have any heat in most of my house this winter. My plan is to barricade us into our kitchen and only heat that room, but just saying that feels insane. I can't imagine what you are going through if you only make 24k or less.

I just got a raise to $15 from $10 after "working" (playing vidya and browsing 4chan) for ten years.

Minimum wage where I live is a bit less than 5 Euro an hour I think, which is now less than 5 dollars an hour. I make over double that and still am a poorfag
