You misquoted somebody else, I don't eat out.

I don't have internet, but I always drink beer.  Beer is loaded with carbs and calories, so there is no reason not to buy it.  Once again, I make a bit more than $5,000 (under 7,000) a year and live fairly comfortably, but I also save a lot of money because I live as frugally as I can without giving up comfort.

I buy a case of beer every two weeks and pay $50 a month for my unlimited EVERYTHING since I've been with Sprint for so long, and get added discounts through SERO or whatever the plan shit is.  Those are the luxuries I live on, besides whenever I can flip bud real quick and get some free smoke, but I don't really do that any more because my town is too sketchy. 

Saying I don't need a phone is crazy.  My phone is my lifeline and I would give up absolutely every thing else before my phone.  It takes me an hour to bike to work, and less than 30 minutes to get back, which means since I go to school full time, I'm running from class to school quite frequently which doesn't allow me to bike when I would like to.  I don't have cable, although I do have a PS3.  I think the last game I bought was Madden 11 last August, so it is coming up on a year without a new game.  I don't play it much anyways.

You really are trying to tell me I shouldn't go to the doctor if I need to?  Am I supposed to try to go to work with pink eye?  Or bronchitis?  Na, I'd rather get that shit fixed before it turns into Pneumonia and TB or I go blind.  I don't go to the dentist though, I simply take excellent care of my teeth so I don't have to.

I don't smoke cigarettes, and I don't smoke that much weed (despite my name), don't really have money for drugs.

I live in a house with 3 people, and it is honestly one of the cheapest rents I could find in the city that allows me to get to school and work with the least amount of driving.

So yeah, if I made much less like some people suggest would be a "great idea," of course there are things that could be cut from my budget.  However, if I got paid a dollar less per hour, I would not be able to afford ANY of the "luxuries" and would have to eat on even less money, minimum wage is too low, PERIOD.

You said you live off $7k/year and you seem to be doing great.  You also only work half time.  If you worked full time at minimum wage, you'd have an extra $7k/year to live like a king with.  How is that too low?

I'm not able to work full time due to my school schedule and other commitments.  I live just fine on $7k a year, never said I didn't.  But if you were to slash my wages, I would be struggling to make ends meet.  That's my only point.

"Beer is another huge expense"



Try homebrewing my freind.
I make 60 microbrew quality ales for about 18 dollars. Your inital investment of $250 will pay for itself in no time.

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

My point is that you take it for granted that a part-time minimum wage job to make ends meet?  That should be guaranteed by the legislature?

Along those lines:  I can only work 1 hour a week due to my "commitments".  I can't live on the amount of money I would earn working 4 hours a month at minimum wage, therefore minimum wage is too low.  :tongue:
