How can they do it?

Thats a question I have been turning over in my mind for quite some time now…

Maybe I am  missing something. What is the minimum wage now between $5 & $6 dollars an hour?   If you are lucky you get 40 hours.  That’s between $200 & $240 a week. The Government takes out their share. which leaves you with what?  Lets say  $175 to $200.  It takes $60.00  to fill your gas tank. That may last a week. You have food to buy  …lets say $50  a week.  That totals $110.  Then there is rent. Insurance on your car.  I won’t go any further. Already you are in the red..  That in it’s self should convince anyone to get a good education. But what is the average high school dropout’s grade level around here? 10th grade?  And we wonder why the crime rate is so high?  I really don’t mean to paint a bleak picture, but its the elephant stepping on the ant, so to speak.. Which brings us around to my original question, how do they do it?

Boy, am I glad I got a College education…

Now that I have ruined our day………
