Would you consider $14,000 to be enough money to live on? I mean, you personally, could you survive on that much?
Yes you can live on that. You can a roof over your head, food in your belly, and have the necessities. It's not fun, but doable.

Thing is, most minimum wage jobs are entry-level, meaning you're not meant to do it forever. You have to apply yourself, learn a little, and show some motivation. Then you can move up to a level when you can start enjoying life a bit.
