Rather freighting that I’d have to work 138hrs/mo at minimum wage, *JUST* to afford rent. This doesn’t take into account other requirements such as utilities, car payments and gas (or public transportation fees) and food. Think about it… $7.25 * 138 = $1,000.50. If you only work your 40 hrs/wk for an average of 4 weeks a month, you only get 160hrs in a month, the differences only adds $160 to your monthly paycheck.

So how exactly are people supposed to live like this?
