Young American claiming to earn three times the federal minimum wage sounds off on the cost of living

With hot inflation numbers to prove it, one hacked-off Gen Z American took to TikTok where he detailed a "struggle to survive" and pay for everyday items.

"Can somebody explain to me in crayon-eating terms why I make over three times the federal minimum wage and I cannot afford to live?" the user allegedly named Nic started to say.

Three times the federal minimum wage would be about $22 an hour.  With no overtime, that would come to $3,784 per month.   He would pay $205 per month in federal income tax.  That leaves $3,579.  He says a 1-bedroom apartment costs $1,800.  That leaves $1,779.  I don't mean to be insensitive, but that's a lot left after paying rent.  What else would he be paying for?  Groceries?  Electricity?  Car payment?  It still seems like if he is single, he can pretty easily get by.
The problem is trying to live above their means. You can't show-off by sitting at home and eating ramen. Lots of these people were already overstretched with their purchases. There is no restraint and they want immediate happiness.
