It's been a long time since I was in high school and working low wage jobs. Is $18/hr considered a lot of money?
Nope, it's barely enough, and not even a solid wage in the midwest. I can make it work though by shopping at Goodwill, eating cheap like a college student, paying myself first, and praying I don't get sick (and taking measures to stay healthy).
Also, running keeps me in shape and reduces my odds of getting sick, going to the hospital, etc. After each month, if I'm lucky, I'm able to have $230 or so of leftover $. I don't even use the company 401k plan b/c it would be even more out of my meager $1200 paycheck (bi-weekly, after taxes).
Everyone should take note of the type of troll this is so they dont lose it when this person makes a ridiculous post. There is a reason this person has been curtailed by society. The avg person on unemployment actually made more than you which is sad.
