there is no way in **** one person can live on his own on minimum wage. now the Cost of living here is high, not near as high as socal, not as high as chicago, buts not as low as MOST of the areas south of the mason dixon. the only place min wage is going to get you an apt is in bum **** idaho, oklahoma, i dunno, ****ing mexico? there is 120,000 a year coming into this house, and around here that is a LOT of money. it aint enough, things are kinda tight.
