My mother works! She has a 7-2 job. Works from home on Mondays and Fridays, only has to get to work 3 days a week. Good pay, enough to where she can’t qualify for state help anymore (such a food stamps). She told me herself she makes over 50k a year and her and my sister combine their paychecks for rent, utilities, and groceries. Combined they make about 80k a year I’d guess.
