I worked that chit back in try 20s

even working part time I was still able to live in a very nice shared house and had my own drive, nice house in a respectable area and my own whip. Used to slay mad bitches srs

There was a point I went full time too and one of those jobs was the most fun environment ever

They all live at home with parents or apartments with 1-3 roommates. They're not paying 3k mortgages on that income and 900 car payments


Also very few places pay what you think. Most fast food places now pay like 15 to 20 bucks an hour. At those low income levels, you don't pay hardly any tax so that's like 2700 a month. They pay maybe 700 for their portion of an apartment and live on 2000 a month

i'd say 80% of the people i see working retail are 40+. 40+ year olds are living at home with parents?

Looks like an easy job tbh. You're in a AC environment, stock items when needed, deal with customers, and then just clean up and go home. Don't over exert yourself in either of those steps and there shouldn't be a problem.

I know. You could just fake being disabled like johnvee and get $630 a month from the government to sit around jerking off at home, spreading hepC to family members.

What's wrong with sitting at home? He might not feel that its worth it to work which is a legitimate reason to "do nothing".

$630 is enough for just the very basics of basics for one person a month. He could make more than that if he felt that its worth it to make more.

Lol mirin.

$1000/month, 1/5th already goes to utilities. Who knows if he's paying rent or has a small mortgage which would eat the rest of that money up. Then there's food, which he most likely gets SNAPs is about $300 based on my experience with snaps.

$1000/month is barely just enough to live on your own.
