breh if you only have an extra 20 bucks a week to play with you keep that shyt on hand, youre not thinkin about stocks and bondsjesus
who said anything about stocks and bonds?....just saying dont spend all your money cause you can....seriously, yall cats talking about living a champagne life on a thunderbird budget...
Raising minimum wage doesnt necessarily translate to purchasing power. It should be tied more, in part, to inflation, but even that get's tricky. Raising minimum wage will help people who have those jobs, but it may result in less people having jobs in general. I think it should be raised, but it has to be done carefully and in conjunction with other things for it to balance out in the economy.
and this right here is where your argument falls apart
they dont make anywhere near that much per meal.
its been said that they make literally a cent per dollar spent.
You need to understand the ideas of "volume sales" vs "premium sales"
theres a reason they sell cheap food. A good example is the cheap gas station vs the gas station that charges 20-30ct more per gallon....ever wonder why?
breh do you realize what you are saying? You basically want a full 365 with no mistakes, no sick days, no leisure....full 40 hour weeks with no fukkups to possibly save $500
that is not realistic at all.
It's not forever. In the mean time you can think of ways to pull in more money. I've been sacrificing the past few years to pay off my debt and next year I'll be debt free. My last pair or shoes I kept until a hole formed in the side
You should see my eyebrows...and my hair.
I won't have to do this forever though but I don't think I can avoid it if I want to have any type of financially stability. One of the first things I cut out was trips to Walmart and fastfood. Made a world of difference. Any small amount helps and I've went from 34k in debt to under 16k thinking that way and sacrificing.
Listen to you how you sound.
If there is such a dire need for the work than the company would benefit from spending extra money on training.
So how is the work getting done now and who is doing the work.
Once again where are all these jobs that are not being filled because there is no one qualified?
and you expect the majority to live this way?It's not forever. In the mean time you can think of ways to pull in more money. I've been sacrificing the past few years to pay off my debt and next year I'll be debt free. My last pair or shoes I kept until a hole formed in the side
are you a minimum wage worker?
2 people working 60+ hours a week.
It's not realistic because these people are still going to be below the poverty line.
To me it makes no sense at all to work damn near full time and still not be able to afford shyt.
Unfortunately you have to have 2+ kids for the government give you enough resources where you don't have to work
You're out of your mind if you think employees are working 60+ hours a week because the company can't find anyone to hire
What jobs are these?

What do you do when life happens? I understand what your saying but everyone doesn't have the capacity or even in the position to walk that sort of tightrope.
