When minimum wage goes up, everything else goes up too! Its possible to do it, I know a few people that make minimum wage & they are doing ok.

No it is not possible to have a family and live off of minimum wage! It is ridiculous that our government who keep giving themselves raises and companies who fire CEOs and give them severance packages of millions (and they just got fired!) yet there are people who make 5.25 an hour and they think that is enough. They keep giving the excuse that it is to help the small business' so they dont go out of business but most of those small business' are paying illegals under the table to begin with. It should be against the law for people to work their butts off and get no where in life because of our own government.

I've been there and now my son is there. He can do it if he has a roommate. I make up care packages for him 'cuz sometimes he can't even get the basic incidentals! We should have a living wage, not a minimum wage.
