You should check out the show "30 Days". The guy that is in it and his wife tried to live on minimum wage for 30 days and found it darn near impossible. They said that they were lucky they didn't have to try to accomplish it with kids involved. They also pointed out that the minimum wage has not changed in 10 years. Amazing! nice Q.

anyone, just not with as many of the luxuries richer people can afford. $5.15 an hour full-time is around $800 a month. you could get a cheap apartment and food for that. sure you wouldn't have all the latest and greatest toys and gadgets, but you know what? minimum wage isn't supposed to cover that. it's enough to live on, and that's all it should be. people are just too spoiled these days.

The minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage, so I think it is really amusing when people complain about it. If you don't like working for minimum wage, then I have a solution: work harder!
