<p>In certain states around the country, 20 hours a week at minimum wage WOULD lead to $800 a month (at least, before taxes). Washington is one. In Oregon, where I’m from, it would get you close. I’m assuming notmeantforivy lives in one of the states with a minimum wage higher than the federal minimum.</p>
