    you will care about money at some point in your life. to a certain extent i can agree, but no grown man can make a living doing work for $15/hr.

    no one wants to work that hard for the money. if i didnt make north of $20/hr i would be rethinking my career very soon.

    $15/hr is making ~$31k for the year before taxes. you can survive on it, sure, but it doesn't leave you much wiggle room for extra money.

    I do alright. I have spare cash every now and again when i do mechanic jobs on the side. I make under $15 an hour but my job isn't super hard everyday or anything.
