30 days in minimum wage
Morgan Spurlock has a lot of courage to do all the things he does. He experiances what average americans go through every day, from prision to minimum wage. His show has no strigs attached- he pretty much leaves his real, successful life behind him in every way and ventures out into the world to experiance things in a genuine fashion. I always figured it would be hard to survive on minimum wage, especially if there is more than one person in a household, but the extent that Spurlock went to to save money was astounding. His fiancee walking to work every day to save on bus money, eating rice and beans every day, and passing on a 6.50 conservatory ticket are little things that he had to go through. And he did it for just thirty days. Imagine an entire year, or an entire lifetime trying to save money, living paycheck to paycheck. I know we are blessed here in Lake County, but its really eye opening to see (almost) first hand what a minimum wage life is like.
