I see a lot of people use the argument “if you want $15/h, go get a skill”
There are really skilled people out here making $31,200 (BEFORE Uncle Sam gets his cut) and they’re okay with that??? If you’re skilled and you’re only making $31,200, you should be more angry at your job and not people talking about wanting to make that much money.
Only 30% of your income should be going towards housing. 30% of $31,200 is $9360. Divide that number by 12 and that gives you a monthly housing cost of $780.
Show me a place where you can cover your rent/mortgage plus all your utilities for $780 a month.
Why do some people hear that McDonald’s workers are gonna make $15/h and your mind automatically goes to teenagers rolling up to their shift in a Lamborghini and going home to their McMansion when they get off
$15/h is not shit lmfao
Also – math isn’t my strong suit so please feel free to correct me if those numbers came out wrong.
