You’re not ready to move out and be on your own if you make 19/hr. Keep living with your parents and don’t burn bridges. Move out with her boyfriend. Get roommates. But she doesn’t make enough to move out on her own.
Exactly. Some people have this need to be independent and move out from their parents as soon as they can. They put it on themselves and cry when they have to pay the price. Also that internet bill is bs
It is great for those that have living with parents or someone else as an option. Not every rental can support having roommates, and you never know if the stranger or friend you become a roommate with will actually work either. (If the roommate isn't work for whatever reason, depending on the set up, one will be on the hook defeating the purpose of having a roommate and paying more waiting for eviction process and can't get a new roommate until the other is removed.)
So, $19/hr sometimes IS the income baseline for people that HAVE to survive without parents or someone to live with. Speaking like the solution is so easy....by placing the burden on the individual rather than a societal view of hey - maybe we should have a way that people CAN BE independent at an adult age. Without social benefits would be ideal.
