But boomers will say it’s because we want luxury… no Steve, I want to be safe. Safety shouldn’t be a luxury.

This is what I mean when I say billionaries money isn't theirs. The minimum wage should have been over 60$/hr to match THEIR price gouging. Where is that money? In billionaries pockets. OUR money. That they've stolen over the years.

You forgot to factor in taxes. You’d need to make way more than $28/hr to have a net income of $4500 a month 😭😫😳

So. I make 30 an hour and don’t take home 4500 a month. It’s more like 32-3400 after taxes

And imagine if both people living together both made minimum wage. They STILL wouldn’t be able to afford the apartment and you can only have 2 per bedroom because of occupancy limits!

This also isn’t counting other expenses such as medical, insurances, car payments, school/student loan payments, phone payments

Ok let’s rephrase for all the people saying it can be cheaper. The cheapest non rodent/mold/bug infested apartment in an area where walking to your apartment isn’t playing frogger with criminals is 1000 dollars or more

Partnership is literally the only way to survive anymore. Whether it be platonic or romantic. My boyfriend OWNS a business and brings in the same amount I do as a bartender. Like come on.

moving to an affordable to rent place means that the income is awful so it doesn't make a difference.

i feel like a lot of apartments say 3x required but don’t actually enforce it because i KNOW some of my neighbors don’t make that 💀 mine is $1.1k and i barely make the cut.

I live in Seattle, which has one of the highest minimum wages in the country ($21.30), and that still isn't even close to being able to afford a $1500 1bdr apartment (and realistically, for shutting even half-decent you need to pay closer to $2k out here...)

a billionaire makes 1000 per hour, a high school graduate earns 12 per hour, but the reflected average income is 30 per hour, and we cry about giving the people who make the world go round a few extra in their checks, billionaires are the problem... creating poverty waged employment

Why would anyone settle for minimum wage? That just doesn’t make sense. I have yet to see or hear of anyone in this area paying minimum wage.
