I make 17.33 an hour in one of the most expensive cities in the country. I work about 48 hours a week and get by just fine. I work for a union so my workers rights are actually pretty good. I understand everyone is not in my exact situation but how does everyone seem to be struggling so bad when I make 5 dollars over minimum wage and get by just fine. I even have a small amount in savings. Edit: In so many poorly worded words, what is your situation, why are you in that situation?
