00:00I think we need to raise everybody up the minimum wage is just not enough
00:04it's not enough for people live on you know I know people doing three jobs but
00:08they're still not earning enough you know so I think they need to raise the
00:11people from the bottom up and obviously if the minimum wage people are earning
00:16more money surely that goes into the economy because they're spending more
00:19rather than saving it and watching every penny. From what my friends say yeah
00:22the national minimum wage especially for renting especially you know like the
00:27insane levels of rent they all pay not able to save any money and like you know
00:32I still I still live at home and like and most of my mates still live at home
00:35but the ones who are renting it's just insane trying to get by on you know 35
00:39hours a week it's just not enough. Yeah the wages are good like I think
00:43everything's going up in life but your wages are staying the same in a way
00:47everything's getting more expensive in the shops. You've got to learn how to go without less
00:53with less then yeah everything is too expensive. I think it's expensive to live now
00:58it is expensive
