Living on Minimum Wage

I was surprised by this show in that they were able to live on that little pay. The mere fact that many people live like that 24/7 is amazing. I was surprised that they were both injured and that the medical bills were obnoxious. I believe that it was a realistic portrayal of living on minimum wage because a lot of thngs happened like they're injuries and having the children over. They were also in Columbus, Ohio a city on the tip of the bell curve. I learned the diffuculty of living on minimum wage and some of the causes like medical bills and cost of living. I learned about the hell that those people go through every day just to survive.

  1. Dude! I actually did not know that injuries were so likely in their scenario. I never thought health coverage was that big of a problem. I have to agree with you that I am completely surprised that living on minimum wage is even livable. I thought you are either not living on minimum wage (as in you are done for) or living O.K. on minimum wage. I never thought that you could just barely live on it.
