I don't think I can afford to live anytime soon with the current gas prices constantly shattering records. God bless. https://www.usatoday.com/story/mone...rtage-refinery-capacity/7529563001/?gnt-cfr=1

It's almost to the minimum wage. Some news stories are reporting over or even above minimum wage. It's like a generic young adult dystopian novel unfolding execpt things manage to get worse.

So lets say one gallon gets you 30 miles to work and you so drive 30mph so its a hour trip.

then working ten hours...


So min wage 7.25*9 - 5.00 equals 60.25. And to get home, it's now 55.25. So you are actually making:

6.14 a hour.

so in a month just from paychecks and gas cost its 1720

(working every 7 days a week.)

Ave cost for lowest monthly living cost is 1700ish for less expensive states.




fuck. What can I buy with 20 dollars?
