So according to McDonald’s and Visa we supposed to work two minimum wage jobs to live. The funny thing is many of us work two or more jobs and still can’t make ends meet.
This is budget is just not realistic.
I have no savings. My rent is $968 a month. My car payment is $355 a month. My car insurance is $180 a month. My gas is $25 a month. My phone is $80 a month. My electric is $50-$100 a month. My internet is $70 a month. Plus I have debt, emergencies, and I also like to eat sometimes because I’m a human being but McDonald’s and Visa didn’t think of that!
It’s actually really classist and sick that people look away while poor and low income people suffer. I’m not ashamed to be poor. It’s not my fault, it’s the fault of a system meant to oppress and keep people down. It says something about you as a person if you ignore a poor person’s cry for help.
This is why there are so many homeless people in America. And these billion dollar corporate companies are trying to justify them not wanting to pay people what they deserve to be safe and happy. Bullshit. Minimum wage should be $20 an hour all across America!
