Minimum wage varies province to province. I'm going to speak for Ontario. Minimum wage here is $14. Although in some provinces its less. So if you work a 40 hour week you make 2240 a month. Let's ignore the tax for right now cause I don't feel like calculating it. Let's say you see 2000 of that. The average Jeep TJ tank is 72 litres (If google can be trusted). The average MPG is 15, which is 18.8 liters per 100km. Which is 0.188 liters per kilometer. My drive to work is 24 kilometers one way. So 48 kilometers a day (most people drive 48 kilometers one way). So I use 9 liters of gas per day, which means I use 45 liters per 5 day work week just getting to work and back. Let's say for the sake of the math that every 10 days of driving to work I have to fill the tank (trust me I'm filling up once a week). Gas at the price it is right now, $1.30 per liter, it costs me $93.6 dollars to fill up with gas. Which means I spend $187.2 dollars a month on gas just getting to work and back. Now, I know I fill up way more than once every 2 weeks (I just checked and I've already spent $194.7 on gas in April already). So yeah. That's the breakdown for someone making minimum wage in Canada and driving a Jeep to work every day. If you include rent, average 1k for an apartment, food (google says to average $214 per month per person), car insurance (I pay $98 a month for just the most basic insurance), phone bill ($80 a month), utilities ($225 a month when I was living with 4 roomates), internet (good internet is at least $100 here). Don't know what else I'm forgetting. But yeah.
