You talk of 1993-2012, same as me. I have been an adult for 5 years, and my brother for 8 years. So my mothers income in 2012 has very little impact on anyones lives but herself.

You talked of high school and growing up as I have.

You said something along the lines of " I guarantee my mother made less than yours." In 2012 the minimum wage was 7.25, a five to three job implies greater than full time at minimum wage which contradicts your first statement. Then you mentioned the minimum wage in 1999.

.I was talking of 1993-2012. I guarantee she made less money, and has had less benefits during that time.

Then i made an unnecessary tangent to October 2015. Sorry for the confusion.
