How do people who work for minimum wage make ends meet? Do they typically work three jobs and have 3 roommates

Question

in an appartment? Do they even get apartments, and just live on the street and use their paycheck for food?

My parents never helped me out with anything past age 18, thanks for asking. I was just wondering, in general, how is it possible to make ends meet on minimum wage?

Answer 1

Some are eligible for low income housing, and food-stamps to assist them. Some have more than one job or a hustle on the side. Some belong to a family with 2 or more adults who all work and pitch in on living expenses. The less fortunate live in homeless shelters or an assisted living environment.

Answer 2

are you asking this as a legitimate question... or are you being condescending.... if it's the latter, then i'm guessing you are a "sheltered" younger person who hasn't experienced life yet, or mommy and daddy won't let you...
do you even know what the minimum is? if you don't, it's not good, funny or any reason for you to celebrate your good fortune.... don't look down on others, karma (look it up) can be a very ugly thing...
