My dream retirement job happens to be greeter at Walmart. I can socialize all day "Hello! How are you today?" with no pressures and no responsibilities. I can't wait...
This thread is interesting. If you believe everybody on here, then hardly anybody makes minimum wage but it's going to cost businesses more to raise minimum wage so we're going to have major inflation. If nobody is making minimum wage anyway, then it should have no effect on prices of anything to raise it. In fact, if hardly anybody makes minimum wage, then it will have no effect on anything to raise it.
In Michigan, if you don't have children, the only form of welfare is food stamps. I guess Section 8 housing could be counted as welfare, but even that is too expensive in many areas.
When I tried to get a 3 bedroom apartment here, I found out that the only ones in my area are "moderate income housing" and you had to make less than $35,000 with 2 kids to qualify for it. The rent was $875 a month. If I had two kids and only made $35,000, I couldn't afford $875 in rent! Ridiculous!
Anyway, I rambled and got off topic.
