1. 60 hours per week at $15/hr for 52.1429 weeks per year is $47k/year.
2. In this magical world where you can get 60 hours per week on the clock, you'd also be entitled to time and a half for 20 hours per week, which would actually be $55k/year. You're underselling it here!
3. And if you're talking about two+ 30 hour / week minimum wage jobs:
3a. Chances are you're now in the world where you also don't get employer healthcare. Hooray!

For real. I was thinking back to this thread earlier today as I realized that ~25 years ago in SF I was making $14 or $15 an hour as a network technician...but my rent (for a large room in a house share) was only about $300/mo. A studio apartment would have been around $5-600 and I think my monthly travel bill was $50 or so. I don't remember enough to think out my whole budget but offhand food was maybe half or 2/3 of what it is now so your blue collar dollar went a great deal farther than it does now.
