Tfw 36 and making minimum wage

>tfw 36 and making minimum wage
>tfw never made more than minimum wage

Would you an hero if you were my age making 11.65 an hour and didn't have a dime in savings?

as long as you're happy user. Dont let society tell you how to live your life.

What kind of socialist community do you live in where minimum wage is that fucking high? Min wage in Missouri is 7.65

I live in belleville ontario canada and minimum wage should be at least 20 an hour considering how expensive this place is

>high

That's low as fuck man you can't live off of 11.65 an hour unless you don't pay rent or anything

I am except the fact that everyone else my age has a car and owns things and I'm flat broke in a shit apartment with no anything

Minimum wage shouldn't be a livable wage. Minimum wage jobs are typically entry level, low to no skill required, and generally meant for high schoolers or as jobs that you work multiple of. I've never made over 8.65/hr, but I'm only 19 and in college, outside of playing music so I've always had 2-3 jobs at a time since I was 15.

Minimum wage should be livable you shouldn't have any job out there that you work full time at and can't live comfortably

If it upsets you you either a: move away from the problem or b: change your life so you have a car and things

I can't because I can't drive to get a job with better wages. I have to walk

>move away from the problem

Like 60% of people who are 36 have a car

>Minimum wage should be livable
>we should totally pay 16 year olds $15 an hour to flip burgers and stock shelves
No. If you can't find a job to live on because you have no skills after 18 FUCKING YEARS IN THE WORK FORCE then it's your own fault.

where do u live

i live in toronto, i get paid 28 an hour to do easy factory work, have a car and buying a condo soon, i could be there in an hour and 30 to give u drugs and a blowjob

Expensive? That place has two fucking methadone clinics. Stop spending all your money on drugs you fucking hippy.

>>we should totally pay 16 year olds $15 an hour to flip burgers and stock shelves

We should, though. My dad was able to put himself through school with a minimum wage job. You can't do that these days, so we make up the difference by burdening these kids with debt. if they're not responsible enough for $15/hr, how can we say they are responsible for $30,000 of debt?

>>tfw 36 and making minimum wage

There's a retarded nigger that busses tables at a restaurant I frequent that makes more money than you do.

Kek.

The age of majority should be raised to 25. Contract law in this country is insane.

Not really jobs shouldn't even exist if you can't live off them

Fucking THIS

My dad worked at a factory his whole life and owned a house a cottage and 3 vehicles and a motorcycle. Work at a factory now and you can't even afford fucking rent for a 1 bdrm apartment in hickville

Time to make you all feel better.I worked for the national water company of Greece for 2 months.3€ per hour as a student.

Yeah the cost of living now is way higher than when our parents were growing up. My dad worked a labor job moving bricks around and he bought a house and had a muscle car and daily driving car by the time he was 23 and I'm 27 and can't even afford to eat normal food and rent an apartment working 50 hours a week

Bring me a case of beer man I'm broke

Did the math again.Sorry it was 3,8€

Yeah, I probably would.

I made $35k this year and I'm 24. And that's not even good.

35k a year is a lot of money id be out partying right now if I made that kinda dough

I live in Palm Beach. This is one of the most expensive cities in the world. That's shit dough here.

Well in that case it's different, here with 35k a year you have a house and nice car etc

Where's that? I may have to transfer. I'd love to actually move outta my shit condo.

Yes they should asshole. So you're saying a fry cook should make $40k a year? So I worked my ass of for $65k a year when you're saying I can make as much working at McDonald's as a manager one day?

Tweed ontario bro it's cheap here

Yeah they sure fucking should. Why should anyone work and not make a livable wage you asshole? Why work if you can just go on welfare and get damn near the same amount or fake disability and get the same amount as someone full time at mcdonalds?

And people wonder why suicide rates are so high...... work minimum wage and can't even live a proper life and own a house etc

THIS

I sure hope ontario implements the basic income of 22k a year for everyone this spring because I'm so sick of doing back busting labor for 19k a year

These are the people I'd love to punch out. NOBODY should work 40+ hours a week and not live comfortable, it doesn't matter if you're a lawyer or a fucking pizza maker nobody should have a way higher income than the other guy working full time

It's not a matter of responsibility it's a matter of value of their labor. Putting things on a shelf isn't worth shit which is why they get minimum wage.

No, fuck you. You're one of those faggots that cries and cries about their life but won't do a single fucking thing to fix it. There's only a few possibilities here why you're making minimum wage at 36.

>you've been fired from every job you've ever had after 3 months so you can't prove you're worth a little extra
>you've gained absolutely no skills in your 36 years of life, holy fuck it's not hard to find a job for more than minimum wage
>you've never actually asked for a raise


There is literally no reason an able bodied 36 year old that has had a good ten years of work history should not be able to find a full time job making enough to support himself. Go bitch for a handout somewhere else.

25 and 0 income here

but i get weed for free which is nice

Actually fuck you I'm not OP and why should anyone work full time and not make a living wage? It's kinda fucked up how software developing faggots who do nothing for anyone make more than people who actually are important in society like roofers and auto mechanics etc

I'd love it if all blue collar workers who actually make the world go round quit until they got paid more than you beta cuck white collar fags who do nothing and make 100k+ a year

>I'd love it if all blue collar workers who actually make the world go round quit until they got paid more than you beta cuck white collar fags who do nothing and make 100k+ a year
I am a blue collar worker that makes the world go round you dumb fuck, I'm a machinist. I make a livable wage because I am capable of skilled labor. If OP is not capable of skilled labor at 36 years of age it's his own damn fault. He can do plenty of shit to fix this but he won't because he'd rather be a lazy shit and just complain about it.

Someone's gotta but those items on shelves and someone's gotta flip burgers and they should get paid more than most people because those jobs are boring

Everyone saying you should be able to live confortably with a minimum salary dont understand the economy. Maybe they should go to a communist country that is not collapsed or a shithole. Oh wait...

>Would you an hero if you were my age making 11.65 an hour and didn't have a dime in savings?

This thread has been so far derailed from OPs question.

Yes I would kill myself if I were you.

Hope this helps.

Not everyone can just become smart and do high paying jobs so basically you're saying he should just off himself because he didn't get a lucky draw in genetics and be born intelligent and with connections for him to get a good job?

I make 95k a year working for CN railway and I don't think anyone who flips burgers or anything should make less than me because we all deserve to live a normal life

Yes we should all be living in fairy tale land and all be paid 20$/h to stock shelves at Walmart. Im sure there sont br an impact on the economy. Everything will stay the same Price forever and no price will be inflated to the massive increase in income.

Why the fuck should anyone be forced to work full time and not make a living wage? You'd be saying the opposite if you made 20k a year, at least I can see it from minimum wage workers point of view and they do deserve 3x the pay they get because they can't live comfortably off 12 an hour

This

Not everyone is intelligent enough to make a high wage and everyone deserves a fair wage in a first world countryno matter what they do

Thats how the economy works. Do you really think one guy is at the top and does that to make people miserable? If you increase minimum wage what do you think happens? Price of everything will increase. Short term people will be happy. But then the economy will balance itself out and prices will go up and people will ask for more money. Repeating the process.

That makes no sense, people make more money therefore people buy more things, it has nothing to do with increasing prices

If you dont work smart. Work hard. I know lots of good paying jobs that are just hard. Construction and such. Thats where I started. 15$ an hour. 18$ the next year.

Ever heard of inflation?

People who work physical labor should be making more than 30 an hour just to start

The whole world is ass backwards I can't stand it

So guys how is life without mommy doing everything?

Broke as fuck because nothing pays a living wage unless you got very lucky in life

I'm about too man, I don't see any other options

It's got nothing to do with luck. Say that to the people low-born of the past centuries. Or the chinese peasant. Or the 5th generation slave of Mauritania. Here you can work hard or smart and achieve results. Nobody is bien smart or hard working. You are what you make yourself to be. Stop being a bitch.

Born*

Things are going to keep getting worse because the world is full of fucking assholes like you, straight up. Can't see a fucking thing if it applies to somebody other than yourself. You're the one who should kill yourself.

nah Id put a few others out of their misery too

Im all for a socialist society. But communist like you can go fuck themselves. I work hard. Im not poor. Simple as fuck. But no, people want to do jack-shit and be paid enough to live like kings. Also I dont know how many fucking times idiots like you have to be told. Increasing min wage wont help you. Prices will increase you dumb shit. Go ti Laos or Cuba If you want "fair" But no you wont.

Iktf brah

Actually genetics has a huge part in determining someone's IQ

This

People like him only think about themselves and don't care about the wellbeing of others

Everyone should be paid a living wage you stupid fuck

Yeah let's have people work 40 hours a week and have to eat ramen noodles for their every meal and live in cardboard boxes meanwhile others who work 40 hours a week have a house AND a car

i make like 8.50€/hour
12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
I'm not really happy, but not really poor ether...
all my friends are fucking NEETs, they live from like nothing, and they are still happy.
i wish i could live like that, but i have to work hard to pay my shitty little 1-room apartment, and not starve to death...

Go live in the many communist utopias then. Like Laos, one of the poorest country in the world. And also one of the last communist one.

NEETs should kill themselves

Or companies should just pay people an actual living wage or they arent going to have anyone working at their business anymore simple as that

If I worked full time and made under 3k a month I'd get everyone at the work place to quit until they paid a living wage

I've quit many jobs because they didn't pay a high enough wage. I was so sick of making under 15 an hour that I made my boss pay me 16 an hour or I'd quit

Rent a room, not an apartment. Save your money and don't spend it on trash you fucking retard.

I live with my parents I don't pay rent and I still cant afford anything

Say fuck it like I did OP, and just find a factory. I got lucky. I am in rual Ohio and landed a job 2 years ago, now I make 20 an hour. Work is work one way or another. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. And guys like Me built this country anyways so fuck everyone

Awww. Triggered by nerds

my current job is shitty payed, but I'm terribly afraid to lose my job, because if i lose my job, i can't pay for my shitty little apartment. and i really like living here. if i lose my job i'm sure i won't find another one in my little city, and i dont want to move, so i will probably an hero, cause I'*m pretty depressed all the time...

>xD
tfw i'm 22 with no college degree and making more than you

so get a bicycle? You can easily commute 20 miles with a bicycle.

Take out a loan. Many car dealerships offer 6 months grace on car notes

>20 miles on a bicycle

LOL

>tfw depressed for the last 3 years

umad? go learn to code, faggot

I know people with no college the make 150k a year

Too lazy or something? 20 miles by bike is about an hour, which is a very common commute in a large city.

so what should i do?

says software engineers don't do anything while on the internet.

stay in school faggot, you need you some learnin'

Because we are smarter than you, that's why. Lol that's the answer to this entire thread. If you are too stupid to do anything more with your life that make fast food or put things on shelves, an hero. Simple as that. The smart people already want to automate your job. The only reason minimum default income is being proposed is because we don't want to listen to all the pissing and moaning once the automation comes. We keep you around, and you all vote for fucking Trump. Literally worthless. Thanks for nothing.
