    Uh or just be a friendly, sociable person with at least something to offer. I'm also confused why you would need to use Tinder to find sex workers online, I'm sure there are plenty…

    Well sure if you look at income alone and disregard cost of living. 32k is barely enough to live on here in CA (yet somehow I survive on well under half that). At min wage you have…
