[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$150/month is about 10-15 hours of minimum wage work. If she isn't working that much in a month then something needs to change. Why did she drop out? What was/is her plan? What does she do all day if she isn't working? I don't know if charging minimal rent is effective but something needs to change![/quote]

She was working pretty steadily up until about 3 weeks ago, so prior til now about 32 hours per week. Over the past few weeks, she's been working about 15-20 hours. I'm at work during the day, so I assume during her spare time she is reading, sleeping, playing with the dog, watching Netflix or doing her hair.

I am bugged by her low motivation and what I view as a lack of common sense at times.  We live in an area where she could easily find a job within walking distance, yet she chooses to work on the other side of town, which in turns eats up a good portion of her paycheck in train fare and adds an extra hour each way to her commute. She does not drive.[/quote]
