If you are asking for a specific wage, that would depend on the area you are living in. If you are asking for a definition, I would believe that would be a wage, so that you can pay utility bills, rent, food, etc. I.E. the items that would keep you from being homeless, starving, and sick.
If you are wanting specifics on say a specific item on my list such as "food", that is a more complex subject. Cheap food is not healthy food, so you could say that contributes to the obescity problem which is yet another more complex subject because it contributes to the other subject item as avoid being sick.
Either way, BOTH major items of a definition and specific wage of a living wage are very complex items.
Totally agree, it is not a specific number and depends on a lot of factors. Winston seems to believe that a young person between the ages of 16-19 living at home with their parents making minimum wage isn't making a liveable wage. Just goes to show how poorly informed some people are.
