Bulls***.

In 1950, fully two-fifths didn't **need** an automobile.

And yeah, I'd be MIGHTY surprised that minimum wage can support a family of four today. BULLs***.

Prove it. It can't be done.

40 x 6.50 = $260 per week x 4.2 work weeks per month = $1092 (before taxes and any deductions).

Or 2080 hours per year x 6.50 / 12 = $1126.66 before taxes (not much better).

Rent will consume half or more of the realized, after tax income. Utilities, transportation, food, clothing, medical, etc.

I SAY BULLs***. Knowing many young people earning "minimum wage" and living in a fairly cheap area comparatively speaking to other parts of the country, they can't make it on their own.

Not unless the have been given a (large) helping hand and they sure as hell can't support 4 people on that income.

This article is crap.
