food: fresh food, farmers markets, learn to cook every single meal with fresh ingredients, grow your own food if able
clothing: thrift store washing clothing: laundromats

Transportation: Uber or taxi service, never use the public bus as it's not safe
William Garcia
transportation: used fixie. yeah, they're currently out of style, but the utility, cost, and durability are hard to argue with. just don't buy into the no-brakes meme.

Aiden Nguyen
WHAT THE HELL? Since when do niggers want jobs??? On the other hand I don't have a problem with them staying the hell out of my place of business and employment because EVERY GODDAMN time I am FORCED by Uncle Scam to hire another nigger it's ALWAYS a problem. Constantly late, if they even show up at all, start fights and run off customers, they never take anything seriously, they complain non-stop about being asking to do the most minute task a child could do. I dunno just how many times they've ran off with the cash register money. Yes insurance pays it all back and they go to jail but that's not the point. Sad that there are plenty of decent, honest whites and even asians that NEED the money and are willing to work but I have to avoid hiring them because of America's fantasy, fairy tale nigger obsession. I think they should at the very least make ONLY nigger employers hire them.....however few they may be.
Zachary Gonzalez
>i need to live in the middle of NYC but i can't do it on the minimum wage >give me free shit
Noah Brooks
>Pre-paid plan >Cheaper I looked into it and if i got the more expensive monthly at 55 dollars a month i'd save about 400 dollars total on the cost of the 2 year contract w. phone. So if you're a poorfag who can't afford a contract or have no credit you're actually spending more money over time using a pay-as-you-go
>Netflix Just pirate movies or get them from the library
>fresh food, farmers market Dirty bulk 4 life on cheap shit
>thrift store/laundromats H&M and forever 21 sell cheap clothes that's actually in the modern fashion. If you want burner clothes I'd just but them there, brand new for a cheap price. I always find local thrift stores will sell old, used, brand name clothing for a higher price than new fast fashion clothes. Maybe for a suit or a one-off vintage cop I would go thrift store, unless you want to go full mac demarco
I think it would be better to get a washer and wash your clothes at home using the gentle cycle and then using a drying rack. Your clothes will last longer with better maintenance.
Ryder Clark
So lets say 40hours/week= 1320.- 30% tax: 1016.- -500 apt : 516.- -30internet+30tv: 456.- -300 Food: 156.- 156.- per month to cover for clothes, savings, reparation, etc.
You gotta be shitting me...
Zachary King
Maybe live somewhere else? DC Metro area is a hellhole with a tremendous indigenous negro problem and the surrounding areas are some of the highest cost of living areas in the nation.
If you have no prospects, no money, and therefore no stuff, move elsewhere.
Lincoln Martin
A slight increase in the minimum wage would be alright I wonder how Sup Forumsfags would feel if they were working in these jobs

Joshua Walker
You only work 40 hour a month? I am of being trolled?
Liam James
Anyone earning minimum wage in the US will pay effectively zero income tax. If they have dependents it is likely they will get more back than they pay in because of earned income credit.
Blake Foster
Remove the "wrong race and gender" and it would be perfect
Zachary Cox

Equality is the crutch of the mediocre,keep fapping and living off your parents you lazy fat fuck
Isaiah Williams
You can probaly find a room to rent in an old persons house for $500 in some small midwest town
Logan Wilson
>Cheap studio apartment for less than 500 a month, or roomates Studios are hard to come by, more expensive than that, and low rent property comes with high crime, even in good neighborhoods
Roommates are not dependable, and can cause serious financial issues or affect your space and sleep thus affecting ability to function at work
>you can buy 20" tv's for less than 200 bucks (save up) Netflix is 10 bucks a month, and there's a new service that has live cable tv channels for less than 40 bucks a month, internet service is 30 bucks a month
This is good. YouTube has options. There are also smart phone plans that run at about $50 a month with unlimited everything, so if a person wants to go even cheaper a good smart phone and unlimited data means watching a lot of great videos on phone, TV optional. Libraries also have a plethora of great options from movies and music to comic books, manga, and books.
>fresh food, farmers markets, learn to cook every single meal with fresh ingredients, grow your own food if able Nope. Fresh food is cost ineffective thanks to the organic movement driving the price of produce up. Two pounds of skittles costs more than two apples, and most proteins are very expensive.
I recommend chicken drumsticks, two per meal, at about 1.70lb you can find cheap ones at most stores for about $5-7 per pack of 18, that's two drums per meal for nine meals. It adds up fast. Potatoes are fairly cheap, but you don't get a lot. Bagged veggie blends aren't super cheap, but a good option for those as well. Vitamins to supplement most of the malnutrition, not ideal, but it will blunt the heart damaged cause by high sodium content in most inexpensive food.
On that budget you CAN NOT get three meals a day, Ramen doesn't count.
Kevin Howard
Woah
Elijah Thomas
Because they're the only ones stupid enough to not have ancestors that already amassed wealth
Kayden Foster
Which is why there's a wage-gap.
Cooper Robinson
ALright then we are back at 460.- left over per month for clothing, healthcare, insurances, gas and general activities.
Good fucking luck
Mason Lewis

Logan Green
>I can't survive and have all the top brand luxury goods that I'm ENTITLED to at $8.25 an hour
Leo Wright
Exactly. We don't all have to live in big cities.
Hunter Cooper
>thrift store Better yet, clearances and food banks/shelters. If you qualify for the latter you can get a lot of nice clothes, I've donated Abercrombie & Fitch, Levis, and Sketchers shoes before. Salvation Army is overpriced on many things, so you are better off spending a little more once or twice a year on name brands, preferably on sale like at the Hanes website. Paying more for better underwear and socks will be better in the long run.
>laundromats Pretty much the only option
>apartment contracts usually bundle it in Actually no. In most cases this is expressly mentioned upfront and not negotiable. They will usually not, but there are assistance programs as long as you fall into the right income level.
>Uber or taxi service, never use the public bus as it's not safe Highly dependent on what is in the area. Some places have no bus system, and all cab companies are privately owned and very expensive. Share riding or volunteer services can help out, but walking or bicycles are more reliable.
Ethan Hall
>I wonder how Sup Forumsfags would feel if they were working in these jobs They don't work.
>You only work 40 hour a month? I used to get that back when I worked for Best Buy. I had to pick up a second and third job just to make ends meet.
Charles Nelson
Yes sure I'm lazy because I live in a country with 70% unemployment rate. Makes perfect sense.
Christian Hughes
The minimum wage increase would not help the poor. There would just be more unemployment.
Camden Richardson
516-60=456
Christopher Edwards
U can buy a 40 in 1080p for less than 200 these days.
Jacob Hernandez
There's a reason he's on minimum wage...
Jacob Phillips
Oh Yeah. Wasnt paying attention.
Connor Nguyen
false. The minimum wage was to separate internships from jobs. Real jobs paid you, so do some internships. Real jobs also paid well enough that you could afford nice things (as a teenager). It did not mean that your career was mcdonalds worker.
>and frankly, if you can't get up to manager in a year, you deserve your fate
Robert Butler
Is it any good?
Read Nickled and Dimed. The helplessness really pissed me off when I read it... felt like she got the result she tried for.
Logan Campbell
I've been able to live off minimum wage in canada. The problem is that it takes years to accumulate $1000 in surplus, so paying for university or debt or a house is pretty much out of the question
Grayson Gonzalez
Sick man. I make a k surplus a week if things go okay.
Lucas Harris
>and frankly, if you can't get up to manager in a year, you deserve your fate You haven't worked retail in the last 4 years. Most places only hire outside for management and as soon as you get a raise or health insurance you get your hours cut.
Justin Murphy
Really pushing it to the limit though. One unexpected eventually, illness, or slight cost differential on even just one of the things you've mentioned and you're in the red.
I'm not even talking about a middle class lifestyle or savings, I'm talking about making ends meet.
Austin Russell
this niggers get double my salary.... i have to speak with stupid white trash and niggers(in English) and earn less...they can suck a dick and die!
Blake Rodriguez

Samuel Martin

Luke Gray
I actually got moved in to Spokane Valley, WA a couple days ago. Min wage here is $11, yet things are still about the same price. I feel really good about being here. I came from Topeka, KS though, one of the worst tax-hellholes in the country..
Nolan Allen
>thrift shop.
I must have saved 1000 on dress shirts alone shopping at the thrift store.
Furniture is a steal there too. Some faggot paid 500 for that lazy boy love seat. Boom I got it for $50. Looks like it sat in a guest room unused.
Samuel Butler
Last time I checked umslims and germans only. Also this surplus is probably not normal at all. I have my own business and do some illegal untaxed things beside it.
Adam Edwards
Don't know where you live but it sounds like you're clueless about how cheap housing is in the midwest.
If you search around you can rent a 3br apt or even an entire small to medium sized house for 600-700/mo where I live.
Get a 3br 2 bath with 2 roommates and living is dirt cheap, like max $300/mo including utilities for a really comfy place
For $500 you an get a really nice 1br or 2br apt
Poor people complaining about housing prices and min wage in expensive-ass areas have only their own stupidity to blame.
Oliver Torres
It's not the best life, but yeah, people can manage. The ones that complain and bitch all the time are usually lazy shits and spend money on all sorts of shit they don't need. Worked enough of those entry jobs to know these people.
Heck just don't eat out and stop buying junk food everyday and they'd save a ton.
Ayden Parker
8.25*8*5*4=1320money 1320*58=76560roubles That's almost twice of my monthly income, and yet I survive and even go to Bali every year and shit. With cost of living not much less than most of the US cities, besides in the US you can get the same 8.25 in every village, in here you can never reach such income anywhere far from big cities.
Niggers are just lazy.
Camden Walker
>$500 rent in Canada Maybe if you're female and willing to live with an Indian landlord (male).
Isaiah Butler
And you are paying everything by yourself? I mean things like apt,insurance, etc.

How to survive on minimum wage; a guide for idiots Step 1: get some ambition and find a better job Step 2: if no jobs available get some ambition and start a business Step 3: if neither step one or two didn't work your the problem not minimum wage

Not that this shit applies to me >studio for less than 650 >getting stuck with the headache after roommates don't pay or bail > paying for cable > only thing bundled where I live is garbage pick up maybe water if you're lucky >buses are safe in most cities >uber to to and from any location would be half of a monthly bus pass

they had the advantage of housing only costing £10k in their day, its $470k now and fucking no one can afford that

John Perry
Stop spending money on shit you don't want for things you don't need Stop paying for TV Stop using smartphones There, fixed your "problem"
Christian Miller
Maybe i should move to Europe, I'm tired of these American fucks who think they should make $15 an hour flipping burgers and not have to pay for food, housing, healthcare or transportation. Glad to see it is mostly isolated.
Same fucks who think the gender wage gap is a valid statistic and illustrates systemic oppression.
Charles Gomez
No McDicks is for college kids and teenagers with no experience You do know night classes exist right?

You CAN survive on min wage, you just can't be so fucking picky and expect to be able to afford a smartphone and a new fucking car and mcdonalds every day
Jacob Wilson

Kayden Richardson
I made $7 per hour as an apprentice, I did it with a wife who didn't work and a young son, we lived like peasants, we didn't have the latest phone, $200 jeans and nikes or netflix. It's possible to survive on this wage, but living like a peasant should give you a nudge to improve yourself, you don't deserve $15 for doing brainless tasks.
Camden Parker
$8.25 ? in America ? how can you survive? I have $10/hour in Slovenia...
Isaiah Reed
As a nuclear physicist, yes.
Kevin Allen
Minimum wage increase would fuck me I charge $50-$70 an hour, that immediately has to be changed to meet with market upticks You Eurocucks already tried your socialism bullshit and when it failed you had to weld on capitalism in order to keep you from becoming post-Great War Germany Stop pretending it works when I doesn't
Jonathan Adams
Even cheaper:
Housing: Live with your parents/family/friends or in the woods
Phone: Use public pay phones (yes they still exist) or business phones
entertainment: Torrent everything
Caleb Reyes
I only pay for my food, internet, metro, and electicity bills, etc.
I don't drink, don't party, I don't have any major expences for entertainment, but again, we're talking about surviving here.

No I have $10/hour at a normal job.
Jonathan Jenkins
That's actually a really good price, how far from campus or is it on campus?

>Housing: Cheap studio apartment for less than 500 a month, or roomates
$8.25 * 8hrs * 5days * 4weeks * 12months = $15,840. $500/month is $6,000 - so you have $9,840 to spend on electricity and phone service per year, or $840/month.
There's no money to save. You can never improve yourself. No fun, ever. You have no money left over for beer or weed or anything, and nothing will ever get any better. And you have to wast most of your time, so you sleep every hour you have at home.
Lincoln Young
You know whats even cheaper? Living in your slave masters house. Eating his trash.
