You evaded the question multiple times.

Do you consider paying for shoes and rent luxuries or lavish?

Sorry I don't grace stupid asinine questions with obvious answers. AND I don't think burger flipping warrants a job that pays for "lavish" rent. Get a roommate or two ... live in a dorm ... live at home ... I did until I got a better job. I worked midnight till 8:30AM stocking shelves in a grocery store at close to minimum wage all thru my college years. I dropped out of high school to join the military starting at $50 or so A MONTH. I now have multiple degrees but my parents or no one else gave me one thin dime for it ... other than GI bill which I earned in Nam.

Bottom line ... I found a way working at minimum wage to live and put myself thru college. I didn't have Nikes, (and I did use duct tape) I didn't go out, I ate Top Ramen, I didn't start a family until I could afford it, and I had roommates. The job was uncomfortable and the pay really sucked BUT it gave me the incentive to do and be more. So take your STUPID questions and "file them". I for one do NOT agree with coddling people who want to do low end jobs at high end wages. If you do go tell it to the Marines cause neither you nor those strikers will get any sympathy or support from me.
