It's minimum wage but it's like. The whole minimum wage income. Hundreds of millions of people use that $2k check to (barely) pay for food, a home, a car, and everything else they need to probably not die tomorrow. Because of the way wealth is distributed, more people do that than don't do that. So it's both a small, yet in proper perspective a HUGE amount of money to send monthly.

The fact that he can afford to pay another person a wholeass minimum wage paycheck is INSANE. Like you're his wholeass employee. I make twice that and had to make my stay at home house-husband who shares a kitchen and bathroom with me get a part time job to afford $300 of weed money a month.

TLDR; it's minimum wage, but the fact that your boyfriend is paying you A Wage is insane.
