Depends how much you make for minimum wage. At around ~$9.50 an hour you can easily make around $250 every 2 weeks part-time. Don't know how much is the most I've ever made, but you have to take into account taxes, 'committee dues' if your company has that (ours is $5 every paycheque that goes towards paying for luncheons, christmas parties, etc) and medical if you get that. $200 is very reasonable to expect though.

When I was 19 I worked for Toyota in the parts warehouse and you were expected to do a little overtime here and there so I would normally make about $800 a week, but if I worked on a Saturday the rates were through the roof and I would clear $1000 after tax. Seems I'm ever-so-slightly in the lead...

Where are you guys working? Jeeze, you must have like no hours. The most I have made (granted I was being paid $12.50) was $994. And like a bunch of douches the company decided to start taxing me on that cheque, even though I was 17 and I get all the tax back anyways... Thinking about it now, I should have been smarter with my money. I don't really have anything to show for it.

No... I actually did work, but there was some admin bs that stopped my payment for almost a month. My "payment got stalled" but I still received a paycheck.
