If someone's working enough hours to make that on $15 an hour, they deserve it. $15 an hour, a person working 40 a week makes $31,200 a year." the reply has 2 likes.

I assume you mean 3 times the cost of a studio apartment, not 1/3, unless you think every minimum wage worker should be sharing their studio apartment with 5 other roommates.

Ah, yes, it was near midnight when I made that post, I may have gotten the 'rent should be 1/3rd your income' rule backwards or inverted, or otherwise phrased clumsily!
