minimum wage increase

40hrs a week per year : $2600 - %30 tax ($780) = $1820 a year. $151 a mo more. So it might help a responsible person try to make a college loan payment, or pay off some cc debit. But most people piss it away as soon as they get it so, yea.

but alot of people on minimum wage try to work more hours to make a bit more money. so lets say they pick up an extra 10 hrs a week.

50 hrs : $3250 a year. -$975 for taxes $2275 a year net, so +$189 a month.

Pennies make dollars. But only in the hands of financially responsible people. :slight_smile:
