I'm making $8 at one job, and $10 at the other. I work a total of maybe 3 days a week. I could survive on my own if I didn't have a car, insurance, paid for BC and a pretty expensive phone bill every month. I could probably have a decent apartment with a roomate, maybe nothing special to it, but a roof over my head and a job that I can work my way up on or just get experience for another job. If you're making minimum wage, or around what I'm making (which amounts to horsecrap) maybe you should skip out on that $8 movie and buy yourself a $1something gallon of milk. It's all about budgeting wisely.

I'm afraid that you misinterpret what I said. I'm not saying to go for the expensive milk. What I meant is that things are getting expensive, thanks to inflation and the weaseling of the Bush administration. I don't remember a gallon of the most expensive milk being that high. BTW, the cheapest gallon of milk in my area is just over $2.25. Even if a person were to budget wisely, he (she) might come up on the short end of the stick when it comes to getting essentials. When a person has to get gas, the station with the cheapest gas price may be a 5 or even 10 minute drive as opposed to another station that is a 2 minute drive.
