You can live for very little if you're careful. Of course, if you add on additional costs, the wage you need to survive increases. I always viewed "minimum wage" as the absolute minimum you need to survive. Of course it's not gonna be enough if you have more costs!
is it tho? Economists tend to be more against minimum wage than the public iirc https://cei.org/blog/what-do-economists-think-about-minimum-wage#:~:text=A%20new%20poll%20of%20professional,impact%20on%20youth%20employment%20levels ….

This is simply propaganda. I'm an economist. As an economist, I can tell you that economists don't have any sort of special knowledge about how the world works in re the minimum wage that makes their opinions more valid than anyone else's.

Of course, I don't get paid by conservative think tanks or similar establishment protection rackets to have the Acceptable Orthodox Opinion on the minimum wage, which is why I can be frank with you.
