How Many MINIMUM WAGE Hours Does it Take to Afford an Apartment in Your State? | |
ehecatl  User ID: 34182728  Mexico02/14/2013 10:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can earn in one day giving paraglider rides, enough to pay the rent for two months, which is good because paragliding scares the hell out of me sometimes, so I don't need to fly much. That is rent for a 2000 sq ft 2 bedroom one bath, comes with an equal sized deck on the roof and half acre yard with 20 foot security wall shared with two other tenants. I use the space for gardening. Electricity and water included. DSL $8 per month extra. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21247666 How about you get involved in the marijuana trade by first hiring on as a field hand and learning all the details of good cannabis growth, and then get your own crop on some little rented lot where you'll pitch your shack. Just a thought. :GreenRip: grass Last Edited by ehecatl on 02/15/2013 12:26 AM |

NOBODY with any integrity would make fun of people based on economic conditions they were born into--like chinese workers. NOBODY with any integrity would call for the wholesale slaughter of a group of people based upon their religion. NOBODY with any integrity would call those less fortunate lazy because they don't have access to the same opportunities as others. NOBODY with any integrity would claim to be a "rebel with MORALS" with such a contradictory history of violent communications. Okay, your turn. Now try to prove me wrong by doing one of the things I just called you out for... LOL.. what a dick you are. Listen you little commie cunt. i was raised dirt poor in appalachia.. We poached deer and grew a large garden for food. Had no running water had heat only half the winter. I already know you cannot say the same. As of today, i own my home, all three of my vehicles, a second piece of property. and everything include therein. i have a business and make good money doing what I do. You are a sniveling, simpering little pussy who was brainwashed by the commies to have an entitlement attitude. nothing more nothing less. Opportunities are what YOU make, not what you are given. go fuck yourself. First of all, brief, why don't you log in for this? You skeered? I too came from little, worked my ass off through good times and bad times, own my own home, three vehicles, lots of toys, blah blah blah....so we have that in common, numb-nuts. Your attempt at labeling me a "communist" just shows your ignorance of the definition of the word--kudos. I actually support abolishing the minimum wage as it is a tool of an imperial government to keep us unwashed masses unclothed and hungry, but as long as we're going to have it, we might as well point out how useless it is. And I am entitled to my opinion about the character known as "brief" and if you have a problem with that, then you have something to share with your shrink. Maybe he can heal all the butt-hurt I've caused you. And I flat don't believe you. might have something to do with your massive bigotry or tiny cranium....go rob another hobo on your way to Kroger for more Bud light and hot pockets, loser. |

| Evil_Twin User ID: 23761243 United States02/15/2013 01:02 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I make $11.50 an hour - Quoting: Diluted 5663641 That's about $460 a week - Rent, in FL, for a 1 Bedroom is $700ish a month. So obviously, I'd need a roommate or "sublent" a room - So at $1,8000 a month $1,800 - 500 (for rent, mind you, this is me renting a room - so when I move out soon it'll be higher...) $1,300 -100 (car insurance) $1,200 -200 (gas for the month) $1,000 -300 (food for the month) $700 -$50 (cell phone) $650. I'm left with about $600 a month to play with.... Throw in a flat tire, or shopping for new clothes, or taking a girl out to dinner - and I'm one of those 1/4 Americans who live "paycheck to paycheck" GOD BLESS THE USA! Umm, if you have $600 per month in disposable income and are living paycheck to paycheck, you are a dumbass. Did nobody ever teach you the concept of saving and spending less than what you earn? With that kind of extra money, you should easily have a $5k cushion in the bank or under your mattress, after a year. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 3937774  Canada02/19/2013 12:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey, asshat. Entry level jobs paying minimum wage were never expected to support an independent adult or a family. They used to be filed with high school and college kids who were still living at home, basically unskilled labor. If someone is 30, 40, 50 years old and still unskilled, that's their own fault and not the fault of their employer. They deserve whatever living hell they get. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33931923 That would have been true prior to the economy turning to shit. A lot of companies in my city have used the excuse of the economic downturn to slash good paying jobs, and downgrade many of the salaries to minimum wage. Not because they were actually affected, but because they saw an opportunity to decrease spending. So there are a lot of minimum wage jobs in the city now, that were good and great paying jobs before. But thats not a surprise, the greedy will always look for ways to be greedy. |
