I paid for rent, a new car, and student loans on the equivalent of $17.66 hour in this area adjusted for inflation from my time. I also managed to save up enough money for 10% down on a house.
Too many entitled people today. They don't want to work their way up. They just want to start out at the top. Life doesn't work that way, dude. If you want $50 an hour, you have to be worth $50 an hour. Nobody's going to hand it to you for being a jackoff like everybody else.

That's a very high wage for entry level work and still won't pay for housing with much income to spare anywhere that isn't a "diverse" hellhole.
Dude, Del Taco is paying $20 an hour for a manager right now. That's $3466 a month gross. It's kind of sucky, but you can manage. What people mean when they say it's not enough for rent is it's not enough for rent in the kind of place the feel entitled to live. Funny thing, entitlement.

That's a much harder job to get compared to working the register or something like that, I'd hardly consider management to be entry level.

Yes, so entitled to want to live among one's own race. These damn milenials and zoomers are so picky not wanting to get robbed and murdered.
A lot of these employers refuse to look at the average persons expenses TODAY. Just take a look at apartments in that area. Btw most people refuse to live next to Meth heads, h addicts and section 8 housing, so take that in account when pricing out apts.

Because your expenses are not their concern, nor should they be. Your expenses should be your concern.

That's different than "I can't get a job that pays enough to allow me to live." That's, "I can't get a job that pays me enough to live where I want to live." Welcome to the club, buddy. It's not your employer's job to figure out how to get you more money. It's your job to figure out how to become a more valuable employee so someone will want to pay you more.
There are literally millions of people who will bag groceries or flip burgers. There's no reason to pay more. That's how value works. Think of it from the consumer side. Imagine a store bitching and complaining because when they try to sell their milk for $15 a gallon no one will buy it. Do you care if they say, "But I need that $15 to keep my store open in this mall!"? No, you don't. You go buy your milk where it's a normal price. Same thing.
I’m just saying employers have fun, it’s not my problem. I love shoving it in thier face that thier business is crumbling. Everyone needs to get angry that inflation is going to destroy everything.
