shelter. or maybe in a tent in the woods. or your car.

or an economy that doesn't allow you to marry or have kids because only one person can survive on minimum wage, and the only kind of jobs you can get are jobs that pay minimum or a dollar or two more.

(Speaking of which, I recently saw a secretarial job that proposed to pay minimum wage, no benefits, for 80 wpm typing speed and knowledge of about 8 software programs, + a couple of years of experience.) and required a drug test.
