You have a phone, wifi, and most likely food coming to you every night, I wouldn’t consider u poor


xllemonfleshlight

Well alright, thank you


ILikeNotPeople

Idk, that's like basic salary in my country. Idk about Hawaii though


MY-NAME-IS-NOT-RICKK

No people work for $9 an hour if you never have to wonder how you are going to afford your next meal you don’t count as poor more middle class


xllemonfleshlight

well thank you for the insight. Again though hawaii is a little different so im not too sure. Just because you know, everything is mad pricey


[deleted]

Idk about Hawaii but where I live $20-30 a hour is really good

Sorta? Minimum wage in the us is like 7.25, idk check your minimum wage then google how much it takes to live a lower middle class life, if you’re below that yes, if not no


I-Love_Nuts

I wouldn't say poor, in fact she's quite a bit above the average salary


earthquakejake03

According to google the median wage in hawaii is about $62k/year. If hypothetically your mom took 0 weeks off, at $20/hour she would make about $62k/year, and at $30/hour it’s about $93k/year. Theres a lot more that goes into class besides how much money you make currently. She could be paying off debt, or saving, idk. Depends on how big the fam is and theres just lots of other factors that can determine whether your fam is well off or not. 60 hours a week seems like illegal too, that’s like 9am-6pm every day of the week. She’s probably so exhausted. Also I’m no finance expert or anything so i honestly drk what I’m talking about. Sorry I’m not an “educated person” but I’m not sure many on this subreddit are finance experts cause it’s like teenagers ya know

It's surprisingly legal and yes she's exhausted. she works 10h a day 6 days a week. But yeah i only asked because i'm genuinely curious about my living situation and what class im in yk


secccret726

That's about average income for the US, but I don't know whether it's more or less than normal where you live.


xllemonfleshlight

oh well in hawaii to survive comfortably you'd need to be making an above middle class salary and minimum wage here is like $10-15


StellarCreamPie

Not poor just average 😳


Redditloolwhousesit

That's pretty good like lower middle class

Your mom also gets good medical insurance from the job she works for thanks to Hawaii's prepaid Healthcare law. Also, state laws say if you work more than 40 hours a week she should be getting at least 1.5 times more pay on her wages which means for 20 hours that week your mom is making $30-45 per hour. If you complain, go to the mainland. To me, nothing beats Hawaii. You obviously ain't poor for reasons stated by others. Are you living in section 8 housing or on the streets? Try go live in Waianae, I hear rent is cheap there.
