open question to non reddit soys because I am interested, my general impression is that these people are still fat as heck and order doordash 6 times a week while paying off a 100k car on credit.
If you make like 15$/hr mcdonaldings in America are are not r-slurred how is quality of life actually.
in the UK min wage generally means probably having to house share if you live in an urban area and having to eat non brand food

I think the main thing is you have to live in shittier parts of town than you did 30 years ago if you don't make a lot. In college, I was able to rent an apartment for 440/month and split it with a roommate, so I could make my rent making $6/hour part time. You can still afford a place like that now on relatively little, but you might have to live next to some drug dealers. The reddit guy is an idiot, of course:
Poor people don't pay taxes except social security and medicare, and if you can manage to not keep yourself safe before you're 65 by eating hot pockets every day, they'll give it all back to you anyway.
