"Boo hoo," the ABC host says to their struggles The post ‘The View’ Host Joy Behar Scoffs at Young People Feeling ‘Left Behind by the Economy’: ‘Oh Please, Get a Job!’ appeared first on TheWrap.
McDonald’s made an article about how to live on a McDonald’s wage with average costs. They couldn’t make it work so the first line in their budget was to get a second job.
Love how the breakdown of monthly expenses that McDonald’s provided includes “Heating: $0”
Warmth really is a luxury when you think about it though…right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They were basically saying it’s perfectly normal to work 70-hour weeks and still hardly be able to cover their made-up costs of living (actual costs are much higher in my area, and presumably in most others as well). Oh, and I’m using heat–so I’m pretty much gonna be in debt for life. Guess we should have gone to college/less avocado toast/whatever. But that’s just business! Don’t hate the player, hate the game! Blah blah blah (งツ)ว
That is because McDonald’s offers employee health insurance for only $10/pay period… They do offer that insurance, right?
If it is not clear, I very much doubt that they offer such cheap health insurance (and that is assuming that they don’t have a policy in place that forbids workers from being scheduled for more than 29 hours per week per franchise so they can be classified as “part time” at each location and not offered health benefits).
I remember seeing that a few years ago and it was woefully out of touch then. But rent has spiked, nearly doubled here, since Covid. I guess I just need a third job and to never sleep again.

I’m not sure it’s still online

$600 for rent? I haven’t paid less than $700 in over a decade. For an apartment.
When I first moved out on my own in the mid 90s I was paying $525/month + utilities for a 3 bedroom semi detached house.
$20 health insurance my sides
