Vinth, you implied how much you make when you said "just above." Or are you going to start splitting hairs about that, as well?
"My name in Vinth, and I make just above the poverty line, but I'm not going to tell you what just above means."
Fine, then. We will do the math and figure it out.
Missouri's minimum wage is $5.15/hour.
5.15 * 40 hours a week * 51 weeks (takes into account holidays) =
$10506
That's almost $2000 above the poverty line.

You must not be doing a good job if you're "barely making minimum wage." You see, either your employer is breaking the law or the private school you work at makes less than $500 000 in business per year. I don't see how any school could operate on a budget of only $500K per year, pay teachers, and so forth unless it only had a handful of students... how elite!
I can only conclude that you're not trying hard enough to better yourself, Vinth. Or you are full of shit.
