Didn’t answer the question, did you? Again, what is the least amount you would work for? What is the least amount you could support yourself on? And don’t tell me you could do it on less than minimum wage, because I make more than that and I cannot afford to live alone or replace my falling apart car.

I had to shut my business down in 2008 due to the economy, and take a job for the first time in thirteen years.

Before I did so, I cut my overhead mercilessly, sold vehicles, sold a lake house, refi’d the house to reduce the payment, you name it.

So, with only a house payment that was considerably lower than it had been and no other debt, with a practically new paid off car and a truck I inherited, I calculated that I could hold it together on no less than $15.00 per hour, and that would be a struggle. Less than that, I would be going in the hole every month.

I did find a job that paid more than that, I was fortunate. I would have taken a job paying less than that if I had to do so, but I would have had to find another source of income to supplement it, somehow.

So, what’s the least you would work for, since you seem fixated upon the subject?
