[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think a Walmart worker is pulling down 70k? My goodness. [/quote]

+1 I almost choked on my coffee. Not sure how much OP thinks Walmart employees make per hour? Even if they made $16 (at the high end) it would be $30K per year. A two-income household would still be within 45-60K.

And there is no paid time off, so if you miss work, you don't get paid.[/quote]

And most retail places don't guarantee 40 hrs a week! They will give you one hour less than whatever your state requires for benefit eligibility (e.g. in MA 15 years ago, my 3 crappy jobs gave me 8-19 hours a week, but never over 19, and I had to quit the one with the least hours because they weren't consistent and I couldn't coordinate schedules with the 2 other jobs).

Hiding money under the mattress. Good lord, OP. [/quote]
