No disrespect is intended to anyone, but by definition a person making minimum wage is poor and why can’t they live in a single bedroom apartment or even a studio. Where does it say that minimum wage = every occupant gets their own bedroom?
In large parts of the world families share bedrooms.
Please note I’m not saying these people should not try to better their lives, but people making minimum wage need to compromise.

- yumraj 5y agoNot sure what you mean but I realized that no matter how I phrase my comment, it has the potential to be misinterpreted. I simply was trying to say that minimum wage has a definition, and I’m assuming that definition is safe housing and sufficient food and other necessities. I’m assuming that it does not mean a certain size of housing, designer clothes, eating out a certain times a week and so on, since after all by definition it is minimum.
