Money is practically USELESS these days. You just can't live off of a measly $12.00 an hour anymore!
Money is USELESS!

You can't support a family of 5 on a measly 12.00 an hour!

Alabama Household Income... According to the Census ACS 1-year survey, the median household income for Alabama was a measly $46,257 in 2017

We have a family of 5 earning $50,000+ a year with Husband AND Wife working, and are still DROWNING in debt!

We are having to file bankruptcy because we can't pay all the bills and are delinquent over 12 months on most medical bills and a few credit cards!

Healthcare costs are INSANE! A 2-week stay in the hospital can drive you into BANKRUPTCY!

It is just crazy!

I have already done so, they will probably place a lien on my house and I will be unable to get a mortgage on it. My bills are already late, so my credit score is terrible! I just can't afford it anymore! I GIVE UP!

There isn't a single state in the country where working FULL TIME a person on minimum wage can afford a Two Bedroom apartment?

Single parent and want to have a room for you kid? Tough luck!

Only 13 counties in the entire united states can you afford a ONE BEDROOM apartment working FULL TIME for minimum wage...

And fuck you "get skills" people... it's not just burger flipping that is paying the minimum these days... it's EVERYTHING.

Want to know why we have a Homeless crisis? It's this...

House flippers/Bankers/Investors have destroyed the entry level housing market. Creating a housing shortage.

People like me will NEVER be able to have a family AT ALL.... just simply not possible.

AGAIN THIS IS THE REAL DOOM... IT ISN'T RUSSIANS.... GUNS.... OR ANYTHING ELSE.

Grow your own food.
Start a passive online side business.
Write eBooks on subjects you know and sell on Amazon (a buddy of mine sells about 50 copies of his eBook per week on Amazon -- for $4.99. He brings in a cool $500 / month doing absolutely nothing, for a "book" that he wrote 2 years ago).

There are ways around this bullshit system -- but sometimes you have to use the system to get around it.

Godspeed.

While it's not perfect.
Look into joining with a moving company, allied or United or the equivalent in the us.

Work your ass off for a few months, and they've been known to pay for you to get your tractor /trailer liscence.

You can be making 18-22 an hour

But the big plus is job security..

You can walk into any moving company in North America and have a job instantly.

Must have been nice to be born in the 60s... back when women going to work was "supplemental" income and not required....

Again head up your ass and I hope the medical system takes all your money, which it will.... enjoy paying someone 20$ an hour to wipe your ass as you watch your entire life savings dwindle away. Smug asshole, you'll get yours soon.

Its called planning for the future, and not letting the future do the planning for you. Its all about decisions made and living with the consequences later when they come back to bite you in the ass.

But if op is only making 12.00 an hour, its obvious op made some poor decisions before having kids.

No, I'm not. I don't give sympathy for bad decisions. But you and your attitude that its everyone elses fault but your own. I apologize for violating your safe space, no not really.

Re: Money is practically USELESS these days. You just can't live off of a measly $12.00 an hour anymore!
Money is USELESS!

You can't support a family of 5 on a measly 12.00 an hour!

Alabama Household Income... According to the Census ACS 1-year survey, the median household income for Alabama was a measly $46,257 in 2017

We have a family of 5 earning $50,000+ a year with Husband AND Wife working, and are still DROWNING in debt!

We are having to file bankruptcy because we can't pay all the bills and are delinquent over 12 months on most medical bills and a few credit cards!

Healthcare costs are INSANE! A 2-week stay in the hospital can drive you into BANKRUPTCY!

It is just crazy!

12.00 an hour was never intended to support a family. That pay rate is in the unskilled labor range. Learn a valued trade.

Don't have so many kids if you cant afford them.
Its not always how much you make, often its how much you spend.

That only works in your head. Reality is how you going to "learn a valued trade" when you have to work full time?
And as far as they kids, theyre already here so your smug shitty advice about that is shitty.

Again 60% of people make minimum wage.. what part of even skilled jobs are minimum wage now can you not fucking sink in?

Look at the trucking industry for instance, even the 18-22$ an hour people are suggesting is "good money" isn't good money.... and it's the same pay they were getting 25 fucking years ago....

AGAIN ANYONE ABOVE THE AGE OF 50 NEEDS TO GET THE FUCK OUTTA THIS THREAD.... You have NO CLUE, how stacked it is for the younger people.

Summary of the above ^^ post translated:

They made bad choices in life, had kids they couldn't afford, so now it's the tax payers job to bail them out...right after they have another kid.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63658239


60% of people make minimum wage dude..... so basically 60% of people in your fucked up world don't deserve to be able to have a family...

GO FUCK YOURSELF, you smug piece of shit.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69758479


Thats because 60% percent of the people don't know how to do shit. Hence, unskilled labor. And you want the rest of society to support the family YOU want but cant afford? How about you go fuck yourself instead.
