SubwayGuy Posted August 22, 2011 Share #11 Posted August 22, 2011 At least a Walmart job can afford this LMAO $7.25 x 40h/week x 4wks = 1160/mo Projected out to 13,920 a year, after deductions and exemptions, the person could expect to get taxed at about 17% between federal, state, city, SSI, and disability. Leaving 83% as earnings, or $11,553.60 after taxes. Or $962.80 a month. Meaning a Wal-Mart job leaves this person an impossible $162.80 per month to pay for groceries, electricity (including heating/cooling), hygiene products, transportation to and from work, clothing, and some form of communication (basic cell phone, land line, or internet or some combination of the above). So Wal-Mart fails again LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R42 M Train Posted August 22, 2011 Share #12 Posted August 22, 2011 So you can't even live in an illegal walk-in closet size apartment on a Walmart salary...

So Wal-Mart fails again LOL LOL! $1160.00 a month... I would CRY if I had to live off of that. Hell I have gone through almost that amount in a weekend alone. I bought 3 new pairs of shoes this month which came to about 1050.00. Just realized that now , but I mean really. I spend about $600.00 or more in food (eating out and shopping at Whole Foods a month, so I don't know how I would live off of that). I guess I would have to see if I qualified for food stamps. LOL But yeah, that's really pathetic. That's why I hate Walmart. At least the folks at Whole Foods make respectable wages. I don't know what they earn (I think the managers must make around $20.00/hr maybe a bit more), but it is certainly far more than what the folks at Walmart make.

To be fair, somebody making $1,160 per month would almost definitely qualify for food stamps, and probably other forms of public assistance, so that would help with the other expenses. Still, for $800, you can easily get an apartment in the outer boroughs if you split the rent with a roommate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
