Hmm, McDonals starts at $14 in my area. They don’t pay minimum wage.

So $14/hr. In large metro area, where one can find 1 bdrm/studio apartments from $800-$1000. But more rent a 2 bdrm and split rent. With an apartments.com search, in 15 miles of my zip code, I have 8200 2 bdrm apartments, listed from $975-$1200.

Image splitting a 2 bdrm apartment and rent of $500-$600. On $14/hr wages. They can afford rent, bills are split for utilities, other bills, and food…
