But we made it. And never ONCE asked for any "public assistance". I'd say the people working at Walmart have it made compared to what we did. And we didn't get days off...we played (and drove from town to town) 7 days a week, every week.

Sounds like fun really.

They say this about the military too at the lower ranks. Basic pay for a Private in the Army is $20k a year. That sounds like crap, but when you factor in he (she) doesn't pay for housing, medical, power, water, garbage, etc etc etc etc... And that's plenty of money to live off of. The problem is if you have a wife and a child, instantly you will be living under the poverty level. However, no matter what if you are 18 and married with a child you are living under the poverty level.
