I remember back when only the man of the house had the work and he fed himself, his wife, and kids and no one was ever flat broke. These days, you can totally forget it unless you're some kind of corporate executive. Working these $7.35/hr jobs, you'll be lucky to just get by on your own.
I pay $800/month in rent alone and I've got a tiny house. If I were working for $7.35/hr and worked every minute of two 80-hour pay periods, I'd make $1,176 before taxes. If my rent was $800, I'd better pray my utilities were less than $200 or I'd have a serious problem.
