A couple weekends ago, i watched a IFS show called 30 Days. It is produced by Morgan Spurlock the created and host of "Super Size Me".
The show is descripted as "a documentary-style program where an individual is inserted into a lifestyle that is completely different from his or her upbringing, beliefs, religion or profession for 30 days."
Well the theme of the show i watched was living on minimum wage. He asked his fiance to help him with this challenge. They travelled to Ohio and went about living on minimum wage. Throughout the month, they both had to attend the emergency rooms. One bill amounted to 445 the other was 531. They were just getting by on their wages. Morgan took on two jobs to help supplement their income.
I don't know how anyone can live on minimum wage, i commend you if you can. I know i couldn't, no wonder credit card companies like TransCan are popping up all over. Easy cash...oh yeah what about all the companies like "Check into Cash" or "Money Mart"
I'm glad i live in Saskatchewan and don't have to pay for emergency bills that amount to $500 just for the doctor to examine me to determine i have a bladder infection. (What Morgan's fiance, Alex, diagnosis turned out to be)
Also very glad for my parents help for my extra schooling; don't know if i could have done it myself. I did have the drive but don't know if i had the financial means or could have found the $$$'s for it. Thanks Mom and Dad.

Where i live, there are a lot of people who seem to get by on very little (barely minimum wage) they seem to get by okay. Of course we are in Canada where a trip to the ER doesn't cost you a month's rent.
