             expenses can total up to one thousand, one hundred dollars per month. There
             is also an average of seven hundred dollars for expenses such as taxes and
             miscellaneous bills. This becomes a total of three thousand, five hundred
             and fifty dollars per month. This number was an average total study, done
             by NJ.com, to show the average cost of living of a single person living on
             his or her own in the state of New Jersey. This average makes it clear that
             a person must make a minimum income of three thousand, six hundred dollars
             per month. When broken down, 3,600 multiplied by twelve months is 43,200.
             Furthermore, if you take the 3,600 per month and divide it by the minimum
             wage, currently 7.25, the total turns out to be 496.5 hours of work to come
             up with that amount of money. There are on average about seven hundred and
             twenty hours in a month. Furthermore, to live a comfortable life, a person
             would be spending close to seventy percent of his or her life working to
             make ends meet. Now, these numbers do not factor in emergencies or other
             unpredictable things such as hospital visits, illnesses, family
             emergencies, car repairs, and so on.
             Even though many people would say that raising the minimum wage is
             much needed, some would also disagree and debate that issue. To many people
             who work fifty hours per week, the increase in pay would be close to fifty
             dollars. However, based off of an article "Opinion: Unintended consequences
             of a minimum-wage hike", written by Montclair State University
