    By the way, that's a WHOPPING $300 a week before taxes.

          Yes but you'll need to raise the $7.50 to $35.00 then I would just break even, LOL.

          I don't even think $7.50 would pay my golf club membership...how do people live on that? And yet they still find a way to pay for our porn...

            Why does it matter where you lived? It all depends on where you live now.

              The reason I ask is because one of my employees gets paid $7.75 an hour and has some of the coolest shit. A 2004 Lexus, a nice new house (2800 sq. feet), and is always wearing nice new clothes. I ask him how he affords it all and he simply tells me that he's good at managing money and saving.

              FUCK THAT! I think he has another job and it's not the type of job where taxes are due or company registrations are necessary.

                  I haven't survived for years.

                    Survive? Of course. Anyone should be able to survive on that amount of money and even less.

                    "Survive" was a bad choice of words. You should have asked if people would be able to uphold their current lifestyle on those wages. I couldn't.

                      I could do it if I had to, the cost of living here in Winnipeg is really not high, although it is getting a bit higher lately.

                        anyone could do it. Now the real question is could you live the life you live now on 7.50?

                        I say no fucking way.

                            well like he is anyway.. 220 a week would be just enough to skate by if you live poor as fuck.

                              I guess I should find out what his wife does before jumping to conclusions. She might be a doctor or something.
