Minimum Wage
I'm surprised that no one is talking about this.
I think that the minimum wage is ridiculous. With the minimum wage that low for almsot a decade, it seems that the buying power has become less. Look at you tuition for those of you that attend college. With tuition and textbooks prices going up, it seems that it's difficult to pay for all of that. For instance, my school's tuition is over $2600 for in-state students and almost $7900 for out of state students. And on top of that you have to have room and board, gas and food money, etc. Student Loans are being cut, forcing manys' dreams to get a college degree to end. A college degree is essential. There are some people that do well fiancially without it, but the key words are some people.
I'm disgusted at the minimum wage right now, while Congress have approve a pay raise year after year. It's is robbery. It is robbing many students and poor people.
Many people would say that we should work hard to get more money. But sometimes, hard work does not always pay off.
All I've got to say it that when I have kids, I will start a savings account for college the day after they are born, because you never know what will happen.
