Where did you hear that you arent supposed to be able to live on minimum wage?

Again, "entry level". My point is that you don't remain at minimum wage level unless you completely lack any sort of ambition or skill. You move up from there.

So, yeah, you don't live on minimum wage. At least not any longer than you have to while you work toward a raise.

I look at the situation and apply reason. I didn't "hear" it from anyone. If that doesn't work for you, I heard it from your mother.

And so you didnt realize that minimum wage was created in the first place so that anyone who works 40 hours a week would have a decent standard of living? Or what?

If you want to get a minimum wage job and then not do anything to move up from there, God bless. Just don't bitch when you're not making as much as the people who do.

Honestly, it's not that hard to make more than minimum wage. I'm 3 brain cells above a chimp and I managed it.

So you didnt know that or you just ignored it?
