When you’re constantly stressed about money and bills, you also have way less energy to actually go out and look for a better paying job. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s a lot harder mentally to do that. There’s also decision fatigue. You’re constantly trying to decide whether you should pay your electric bill or get groceries for the week, plus a million other decisions that need to be made like that. That leaves you with no energy to try and better your situation. Source: me. I’ve been both super broke, and financially comfortable. You have so much more mental energy when you’re financially comfortable.

Colleges tuition should just be a fixed percentage of your income over a set number of years immediately following your graduation. This would incentivize colleges to make sure you get the profession they trained you for. They would work with employers to get you placed in a position right out of college. As it stands, I'm 40 years old and am still paying off a degree that I never used.

"Afraid to earn more and lose benefits" The welfare state in a nutshell.

[@BonchegoBonchego]

I think the cost of living is in the exact words, “The cost of living.” Because prices went up on everything but especially housing, it requires more money to Live. Most of our income goes to housing. Not food or any other thing that we actually need to live day to day like food and water. I remember when 12.00 an hour was pretty good. My rent was 475 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment.

[@michellecd4722]

@BonchegoBonchego I remember that too; my first boyfriend in college worked part-time at a local pizza hut as a full-time college student & didn't have a car & paid his $525 a month apartment working as a waiter there. That same apartment would be about $1,800 a month or more now.

You should do an experiment. For a month, you can only survive off $7.25/hr. Relay back to us how it is like to live while paying all your expenses (how much you are at a loss). Of course, I think you could do this on paper (I do not think people actually want to see you get behind on any payments). To date, not wealthy KZbinr wants to do this; however, it would be a big signal to the politicians and CEOs of the world that "he has a point!"

Prices go up, giving the poorest more however ensures a good strong economy because of the speed of money. The faster money exchanges hands, the stronger the economy. The poor spend money instantly on necessities, which helps the economy. Inflation is typically supply chain issues, binge purchasing related to fear (toilet paper), increases in gas prices or plain greed by business.

A case worker at a nonprofit or government agency can sometimes help with locating resources for low income families. A lot of the times, the community services that are offered like at food pantries or where free hot meals are served will also have information to guide the person to resources to help. Unfortunately, everything takes a lot of time and they try to make things as accurate as possible but it sucks when you are poor and you try to get the help you need and you hit a wall because you don't qualify due to having or not having something.

Graham, when you ask "What is a living wage?", you must first ask "What is living?", because barely surviving is not living. In fact 'hardship' is that experience that you (just barely) survive.

So "surving" is the opposite of "living"? I say "living life" is a minimum of one international trip annually and at least two other cross country trips... a large home on the lake.. and not having to work for a living... I guess I'm not making a "living wage" then.. Did out ancestors not "live" because they had to hunt for their food and build their own shelter?

If our taxes worked appropriately on a sliding scale of income and then that money was used directly for something like a minimum liveable wage our economy would be a lot better off. With that said - there also needs to be something done about how properties are valued and charged for (especially with rent). Here in Dallas, there are some one bedroom apartments that are…. Sub standard at best that go for $1300 and that just seems ridiculous when you think about the neighborhoods they’re in and the average incomes of the people around them.

It goes back to having better tax breaks. I always have this conversation with my peers. It costs a lot to run a business and then we have $10s of thousands of taxes to pay, depending on the business size. Tax breaks allows our business to give back to our employees. At least that’s that way our business works. All extra revenues went back into raises and bonuses and more overtime hours. Our main problem is the lack of employees.

Well guess what we just had FTX crashing and now we have the new giant. Just few hours ago *VRI TOKEN* asset hit the roads. I think they have a better chance to run these things since their funds are pretty much unlimited?

While everyone is focused on BTC, ETH or any top alt coin and playing defensive they are missing on quality projects that are about to be launched on CEX. For example *VRI TOKEN* will hit mainstream soon, 10x-20x quite possible even during this bear market but only few people know about this.
