That's from when McDonald's made a budget for their workers. They first assumed you had two jobs. And that with prices that were too low for a decade ago when this was made

Omg they didnt include food in monthly expenses. The entire $25 has to cover FOOD

They figure all their workers stealing food.

You'd pretty much have to with how they pay their workers.

One hundred and eighty thousand a year from investments alone?!

If I had to guess it would be well over $500,000 because they think $260,000 and $180,000 isn't much money.

Cable and phone $100?

Even a decade ago people were spending t at least that much on phone service, not including the cost of the phone.
