That doesn't seem to add up. Five-three job => full time, if not more. 40 hours *7.25 (minimum wage) *52 weeks/year = $15,080 per year (that is about 40% more than my mother would make, she is a waitress who averaged a little less than minimum wage even after tips and worked less than full time on average ~ 30 hours/week.) I am sure your mother qualified, especially if you got free lunch that implies you qualify for food stamps as well. You would also qualify for medicaid/chip in Pennsylvania with that income. So... |
Right that is in the present. Obviously when she was 15 she could not get a job like that. Worked at Mcdonalds for $4 minimum wage I think it was or $5.25.
Many times and many years she had no job though. She basically took money from our grand parents and made them as poor as us.
I got free lunch but I have not seen a food stamp in 13 years.
Had no insurance when i broke my leg in 8th grade, my grandpa found some to pay for it though.
