JUST A QUICK WORKSHEET ON MINIMUM WAGE.

minimum wage in MA = 6.25

6.25x40 = $250
lets say 20% goes to taxes and SSI etc = $200 take home.
fill up the gas tank twice a week just to get to work... $150 left over a week.
Eat food, spent $10 a day, on breakfast, lunch, dinner (7days a week = $80 left over.

Get a flat tire on the way to work and have your car towed + purchase of new tire (cause u cant really afford AAA) minus -400

so now u're $320 in the minus..
thats gonna take you 6 weeks to earn and save, well 7 cause the credit card will gain interest.



in the meantime your cell phone gets shut off. And your car insurance gets cancelled.. In MA its illegal to drive without insurance, so now every day u're praying u wont get pulled over, and be charged with a criminal offense and a $400 ticket.
and xmas is coming up.. and you are a 65 year old grandma, who has 10 grandchildren.

than ofcourse you need to fill your prescription, and think u might lose your job, cause the boss is getting fed of your outside the work problems, and is telling you, you have to focus more on the job LOL he has a couple of high schoolers lined up.

and than ofcourse u get pulled over, and they tow your car, another $100 plus give u that $400 ticeket.. on top of that you cant drive until u pay insurance the $90 a month they want, but u really owen them $180 for 3 months.. and they want u pay the policy in full so they want $800 suddenly $1300 in the minus..

Grandma found dead? suicide?
