This is life on $7.50 an hour

Safiyyah Cotton makes $7.50 an hour working at McDonald's. So how does she stretch her budget? With a lot of help from the government. Here's a look inside the life and budget of a low-wage worker.

    This can be good or bad, depending on the kid; some will work hard, graduate, get a trade or college to take care of Mom. Others will start making money earlier in illegal ways. it's a damn hard way to live, and she's past worry, and feels she has no ability to change her circumstances. She should qualify for WIC, wonder if she applied?

    That doesn't work. State-level politicians receive relatively low pay (not minimum wage level of course), but all that has lead to is their ranks being filled with rich businessman who can afford to do legislating as a sort of hobby and often fundraise their own campaigns (and make laws that suit the interests of themselves at the expense of the rest of us). You need publicly financed elections and a fundamental overhaul of the lobbying/legalized bribery that dominates the political process to get real change. Constitutional amendment-level overhaul because the corporatist Supreme Court justices were literally appointed _because_ of their willingness to enable/legitimize the bribery, so they'll gut most federal laws meant to change things.

    I make $16 an hour and that still isn’t enough, and what sucks the most out of it is that the government claims that I make too much to receive assistance such as housing or WIC/Stamps. I have a two year old daughter and in a month we’ll be bound to be homeless due to the whole renting progress being broken as well. I cannot get into a place without somebody telling me that I need a co-applicant, but I don’t have anybody. I don’t care if I have to live in a studio apartment, I just want the best life for my daughter that’s not in a shelter.

I found a career path in my 30's, and when I had kids at 40 I pushed them hard to take school serious and I put them both through college. They have good careers and didn't have to go thru what I did. I hope her son does well, but the odds are not in his favor.

    That's true for a lot of families. Plenty of stay at home moms until kindergarten because they won't earn enough working to pay for the child care. That's with a second income of course. Single parents or anyone on assistance of course has to follow the rules set by politicians who are convinced everyone is out to game the system. They need her to "prove" she earned the assistance by working, never mind that it makes zero financial sense. She doesn't work she won't qualify for any of the programs, so she works, costing the government more money.

I was also fairly smart, but I worked hard in school and got a doctorate. I'm not sure why some people fail to see the importance of school and others are lifted out by gifts, luck, or opportunity. It's unfornately the reality we live in. If we make it easier to be lazy then more people will be lazy. If we make it harder than we are failing as a society.

The day is coming when these platforms will be demonetized (Tik Tok, KZread, whatever else is out there) and brands will come to realize that partnering with these "influencers" is hurting their bottom line (well, that and the fact that their products are of cheap quality, vastly overpriced and produced via child slave labor in places like Guatemala).

    It's up to the government to increase minimum wage. In Australia, our minimum wage, for a 22 year old and older, is USD$15 if you are part-time/full time which includes paid leave, sick leave and guaranteed number of hours per week, or USD$20 if you are a casual employee. Both include a bonus 10% on whatever you earn which goes towards your retirement fund. This is all legislation. It's up to the government. Why would McDonalds want to voluntarily pay more money!? They don't gaf about their employees. McDonalds is a business. They want to earn as much profit as possible.

    Maybe you missed the part where she mentions her 2 week earnings indicating she's working part time. This is NOT a representation of working for $7.50 an hour it's a representation of somebody working PART TIME making 7.50. She needs to work full time, get a second job to get more hours or a combination of both. And here's a thought how about going after the deadbeat dad. She also chose to have a child in what i promise you was with some complete loser. Seems to be that basically ALL of her issues she brought on herself and it's complete and utter bullshit to claim this is a representation of what it's like to live on that wage because she is only working, again, part time.

Thankfully, working in fast food with a wage like that has gotten better since this video. HOWEVER, people are still struggling financially out here and living on benefits.

No woman plans on being a single mother. Trust me, most women choose a man thinking he's a good one and then he leaves/ abusive. How about we teach women to choose good men and men how to treat a woman? No man who doesn't respect women will get respected. I can promise you that.

And the next time you go to the Aid Office,ask your case worker if they can give you a list of some food pantries in your area.

    I've been there. That min wage life is no joke. This year at 22,my bf and I found out I was pregnant and knew it was the last time I'd ever work min wage jobs. I made 110 every week working full time at Planet Fitness. But I enrolled myself in a Dental Assistant course and graduated in 4 months. No dental or non related dental job wanted to hire me because I was pregnant, but I never gave up. Just 3 weeks ago when I was about to give up, the Department of Community Health called me saying they had my resume and would like for me to start asap in the Board of Pharmacy&Dentistry. I was worried cuz I was pregnant and they didn't know but it didn't phase them and at almost 8 months pregnant I got my first career ! Now I make in a week what I used to make in a month at Planet Fitness, I work in a respecful and stress free office environment&I love what I do. No one's getting worked to death and whining for hrs, we all work Mon thru Fri 8 to 5. I can't wait to be promoted and continue my education to make more money and get my degrees. I didn't want my child to struggle and I made sure to make it happen! It's not easy, but you've got to be driven! If you want a career, make it happen. My goal is to have a successful life where me and my child will never struggle again and I'm on that path. Strive for a career, min wage was never meant for adults to raise kids or survive on. Believe in yourself 😊
