So, I got my first paycheck for a full week of work yesterday, and did the math.
With what I’m making a week, after taxes, I’m making a grand total of:
20K a year.
I’m now working 40 hours a week to make $85 a week more than I was getting when I was on unemployment.
20K a year.
Wow.
What’s the poverty line again? Half that, maybe. And the only reason I can make it on this is because I don’t pay rent or utilities. Also: no health insurance, no benefits.
Boy, I sure am glad I got all that education just for shits and giggles, cause if I was expecting paychecks…
Fuck.
