2. Rich people waste a lot of money; meanwhile, poor people barely have food for the day.

3. I haven't done my laundry, nor washed the dishes.

4. Sometimes, singers release bad music since they have pressure from the record.

5. My boyfriend lost his wallet, so I had to pay for the food.

Explanation:

Independent clauses are complete clauses that can stand on their own, but when they are next to coordinating conjunctions or conjunctive adverbs, they form a compound sentence. These five examples have two independent clauses. For instance: "Rich people waste a lot of money" and "poor people barely have food for the day" make sense on their own; however, the conjunctive adverb "meanwhile" connects and contrasts them.
