Tell us more about when you worked for minimum wage, how old were you? How many family members did you have to take care of? What decade did you work minimum wage in? Many important questions need to be answered to better understand when you worked for minimum wage.
Why?
It's not anyone elses responsibility to pay you according to need.
Follow this if you're capable.....Mary is an 18 year old HS dropout living with her parents and working at BK....she earns minimum wage....Jane is 30 years old and a single mother of two who works right next to Mary at BK doing the same job. Should Jane earn more than Mary?
Why would you choose to have children you cannot support?
Sometimes children happen, not everything in life is planned. Also what about those people who have children and are hit with hard times and have to take a minimum wage job, should they get rid of their children cause they can no longer afford them?

No, they should be earning the same pay if they are at an equal in their employment. Which that pay should be based off a living wage of that area.

So knowing that, responsible people prepare.
I've lost jobs but I've developed skill sets which will always allow me to earn a living without missing a beat.
I have life insurance, car ins, homeowners ins, flood ins, health ins, sewage problem ins (inside the house and outside), I have a warranty on all cars, appliances and services.
Simply refrain from sex until you're ready.
What are people? Animals? Can't control their primal instincts?
??? HowTF des someone without a car get to three jobs and back home the same day?
??? HowTF does someone with two jobs avoid getting scheduled to work both at the same time when the shifts change week to week? (Happened to me once and had to choose which job I wanted to keep.)
If they can't do that then they either get a job that pays more so that they can work 1 job instead of two or three(like Harrier did) or they modify their spending habits so that they can live on the income from the current job(s) (like Harrier did).
Harrier did that with no car, also.
