💰 Can You Survive on Minimum Wage? Let’s Find Out.

With everything getting more expensive, does minimum wage actually cut it? Today, I’m breaking down the numbers to see if someone can really survive on $7.25 an hour. Spoiler alert: It’s rough.

📊 Breaking It Down:

Housing 🏠 – Can I afford rent? Not really… unless I get roommates.
Groceries 🛒 – Shopping on a bare-bones budget.
Transportation 🚎 – Bus passes vs. gas and car insurance.
Bills & Utilities 📱 – The reality of monthly expenses.
Health & Emergencies 🚨 – What happens when life throws a curveball?

After crunching the numbers, is there even money left for savings or fun? (lol, what’s that?)

🔎 Finding Ways to Survive:

Roommates, side hustles, and extreme budgeting.
Food banks, assistance programs, and community resources.
The hard truth: Minimum wage isn’t enough to thrive.
