Assume 20 days worked in a month. That's $2,400.
A quarter of that goes to taxes: $600. (A good chunk of that will come back at the end of the year.)
Ten percent to retirement, I'll be generous and save a little more, call it $300.
I can get a 2 bedroom apartment in Raleigh for $1,600 a month. Split it with a roommate, that's $800 a month for rent.
$300 a month for food and other necessities.
$100 a month for utilities and other bills.
That adds up to $2,100. $300 left over.
So yes, you can get by on $15/hour. These whiny brats just want to have their own place in a trendy part of a very expensive city while eating UberEats every day, and they can only get a minimum wage job despite having a college degree and $200k worth of student loans. That's your fault, kid.
