IN MY OPINION

In my opinion I think the minimum wage should raise in some states like Hawaii, California, New York, Massachusetts, Alaska, Connecticut, Maryland, Vermont, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. If you want to see how much are things in those states check this website out! because the cost of living is expensive. Not just that gas prices can get high each day. How much gas is in each state? Look at this chart! There are some people that get paid unequally. Tipped employees should get rise a dollar more than they get now. If people are living in the minimum wage their jobs should provide them some insurance because it'll be hard for them to provide it. Some family have a hard time to provide food for their big house hold. As teenagers work for a minimum wage job they need to paid for gas, graduation parties, college tuition, and school activities like prom, homecoming, games, fees, and lunch. Paying those things with the minimum wage would be hard. Certain places with the minimum wage can effect families life with providing school supplies for their children and field trips. If the minimum wage was raise better families could provide child needs. Families relationship with minimum wage wouldn't be strong because it could effect divorce. Some minimum wagers work more than one job they work a second job. 1 to 3 people have a hard time paying bills in Tennessee even though the cost of living isn't too expensive. They can't even cover the basic needs such as housing, food, and the expenses.I think if you put the effort living the minimum wage I would highly try to recommend to people is to make a budget list and try to shop things on sale and in the clearance. Do not buy things that are not on sale because that will eat up all your money. Try to save your money so you don't have to borrow money each time to the bank and if you don't you will have bad credit and it would be hard to pay the bank back.
