I know what it pays because when my company closed they offered to send me to school. The pay was about $10 an hour. I said, so you want to educate me on how to make less money than I was making...no thanks.
You are right, people don't work 24/7. They go home to cook, clean, laundry, errands, spend time with kids, yardwork, etc. Then they sleep so they can go back to work again. It's like the other poster said, they are unemployed or underemployed.
For argument sake, say it's $14 an hour. That's not enough to support yourself at 40 hours a week. She needed to be working. Plus get a side job.
People who support themselves understand what it takes.
HAAAAAAAAA,, you have had SO MANY EXPERIENCES
SHE didnt have kids, people who RENT an apartment (single people without kids) dont have alot of lawn to keep. Which meant she was cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry for ONE. how much time do you think that took on average on a DAILY Basis?
and I dont know when THIS experience happened, but a research of paralegal pay is easy enough to search
and being that I WENT to paralegal school AND graduated back in the 90s and starting pay was more than ten THEN,
Im doubting this is more than either a factor of an outlier in a place with very low cost of living, or a deception
but in either case, for a paralegal, the pay at the lower end is 30,000.
and 14 an hour IS PLENTY to support one person, unless ... well, never mind
where I stay, rent (one bedroom) is 900 per month, if you put 400 for a car/insurance, 250 for food, and 200 for utilities, and 200 for gas a month. that is only 1950 a month ONE PERSON would need.
which is why that type of one person salary is not 'food stamp' eligible.
people who understand math, know what it takes too ...
and it is BAT **** CRAZY that how much someone earns should have ANYTHING to do with whether they should be able to attend WHATEVER free event they choose, let alone whether their murder is therefore somehow their fault for not happening to be at a job in that moment.
You have her paying almost nothing in taxes. $62 a week in groceries lol My grocery trip includes soap, shampoo, feminine products, cleaning supplies, toothpaste, deodorant, toilet paper, laundry detergent. Tide is almost $12. That budget is unrealistic. The $400 would most likely only cover the car. Insurance would be $100-$300 more. The utilities would be correct without WiFi, phone, or satellite.
She got to be there alright.
