>minimum wage isn't a living wage meme
Why are millennials so incompetent with money spending?
Minimum wage is enough to make you live well, if you're spending it on yourself.
Minimum wage = 10.75$
Average hours per week = 40 hours
That's 1720$ per month.
Remove the 15% tax. You get approximately 1500$ left.
Remove 700$ for an apartment rent.
You're left with 800$.
50 ~ 100$ on food per week.
That's 200$ to 400$ per month, let's round it up to 300$.
You're left with 500$.
Internet + phone = 90$ (50$ internet and 40$ phone)
You're left with 410$
Bus/Subway/Gas = 100 ~ 250$ per month
You're left with 210$
Keep those 210$ for school.
Why is it so hard? Right...because they keep spending a few dollars here and there in the convenience stores...at the mall..on food...on dates...etc.
Stop spending like morons until you get the means to do it. Don't cry about being in debt when you can't manage your money for shit.
