  • "I'm working so hard, almost 40 hours a week."

    So she's working LESS than full-time, but there's no time for her to go to school? Many people work 40+ hours per week AND go to school. It just takes hard work.

  • you can't get rich by demand so look for a skill too learn in order too improve in life.

  • Erin you are lucky you are a girl. At least you can get a man who is earning more and get out of the trap. You need to make sure the man is not also a low wage earner.

  • I agree with most of the video. However it is incorrect to say that the USA is the "Richest Country in the World". USA is technically bankrupt.

  • Where I live in California you could work TWO full time jobs at minimum wage and still couldn't afford a studio apartment, food, utilities, insurance, basics... Even if you lived without a car and worked TWO full time jobs you would not make a living. I don't think the Minimum wage should be high, but a basic "Living Wage" could be calculated by region. Sounds Socialist, I know, but I'm actually just a conservative with a heart that KNOWS we could afford it...

  • "Young ...still living with my parents..." Learn a Trade.... ? Are you kiddin? I don't like books ... It takes too long ... Works at a grocery store... And she wants to Cry ? STAY at one job LONG enough to make good money ... NO. NO EMPLOYEER should have to PAY YOU to make mistakes and they are taking the time to TRAIN YOU... Since congress raised min wage ... unemployment has increased ... so is ANYONE MAKING THAT NEW LOOT???

  • go to nursing school, get free grant money from the state, ITS NOT THAT HARD, HOLY SHITTTTT

  • it's sad how many people are in her position. No one should have to stress over how they are going to afford to live.

  • Classy.

  • why don't you republicans do the world a favor and stick your head In the oven and turn on the gas.
