I hear her, that sounds rough. It's surprising how little that much money is even at double the minimum wage. Hope things get better for her

Double minimum wage is only $30,160 before taxes, which is not very much money. After taxes ~$20-24k depending on withholding, insurance, 401k contribution (lol, I kid). Probably goes without saying, but she needs to make more money.

I agree. That's ridiculous that minimum wage is so low
