Nowadays, it's virtually impossible for anyone to survive on a minimum wage job.
But I've heard that there's also a minimum wage for CEOs and bankers, and it's about $20,000 / hour. I believe most CEOs and bankers can manage to get by on that.

What's better, a minimum allowance every week, or a minimum wage every hour? I've had both, but I did not appreciate either.
