SF-TX has it right. And BTW, WTF is a "living wage"?

While you're waiting for the answer, may I offer an interim definition?
The three generations living across the street have two members with $10 jobs, pushing wheelchairs at a local hospital. Grandma and Grandpa have a modest Soc Sec check. They started their GrandDaughter at a local college, but she fell back to part-time student since it "felt wrong" not to work. That makes $10 a "living wage". They live
Very well.
My middle son lives with me. His Mom loves taking him shopping for clothes. His brother grabs him in the evenings for a burger or a movie. With MS, he can do 6 hour days regularly, longer if his boss will give him a couple hours off the day after a long day. (God Bless her, she does.) His $10 job is a "living wage".
When a man dumps his convertible and buddies, I'm willing to wager that moving in with the mother of his children will cause those two incomes to become a combined "living wage".
How about the traditional 3 college kids sharing an apartment?
Living wage......" Coordinated living arrangements with family/friends to match one's income"
