No I'm just merely pointing out this is obviously for a very specific scenario. They also have like ~$250/month for ... furnishings?

I cant imagine many job training / school that charges ~$1000/yr is getting you a job that is going to pay $50k+... If they wanted to be truly honest that cost should be much higher.

Im just pointing out that this particular study seems like an arbitrary set of "costs" put together to show that the min wages needs to be MUCH higher, and not indicative of true individual budgets.
