Is it possible to be /fa/ if you're a poorfag like me (I only make $16/hr) with no financial support from family?

were do you live? in some places $16/hr isn't too bad. That's what I make and am able to have a nice, comfortable living and occasionally buy mid-level designer clothing.

Minimum wage here in france is 9,61€ ($10,62) without the taxes that are high as fuck.

>> No.10175273

>>10175225
how do they even get away with that? aren't there minimum wage laws in your country?

or is stuff like food and rent just cheap as shit in your country?

>> No.10175292

>>10175141
Yes, of course.

This board loves to imply otherwise, but it's very possible to be fashionable by getting cheaper articles of clothing, buying used from thrift stores/eBay/grailed, etc.

>> No.10175418

>>10175273
of course there are minimum wage laws. food is cheaper, services and rents are much cheaper than in the west. the problem is not to survive with those wages. problem is to buy any kind of (semi)luxury as for example nice clothing.

>> No.10176186

>>10175141
$16 an hour is probably enough to get some nice clothes if your rent is cheap and you don't have any other hobbies to pour money into.

If you're, like, a painter or musician or anything else where you regularly buy shit to fuel your hobby, probably not.

I'm not trying to say this in a flippant way because I understand it's difficult to set aside enough money to do so, but have you ever considered moving west to a country with better salaries?
