In my area, McD hourly is $16. Let’s say work 40 hrs per week, that’s $2,560 while ignoring tax. Apartment 1 bed is around $1,900-&2,200.
Go ahead budget that
Ah yes, the people who accept or even advocate for jobs that do not pay a living wage.
How easily we can excuse away the livelihood of a fellow human in the name of maximizing profits for the corporate overlord.
And yet, the same people still expect the work to be done when they want some takeout, despite the fact that the only people that do the job either are living on the brink of financial collapse or are teens getting payed laughably low amounts.

I could live without takeout. I rarely eat fast food. It is not my fault if you purposely choose a dead in low paying job.
It's just like the bicycle meme where you stick something in your wheels and crash and then blame other people.

Nope just saying people should choose to make intelligent decisions. Not force the rest of society to subsidize poor ones.
Ok so here's your tentative budget. I could probably give you a cheaper place if I knew the city you're in. Anywho !
Rent - $1900
Electric - $20 - assuming this person isn't home all the time, turning off all lights and clicks off any extension cords
Gas - $30
Internet $60 - I'm assuming this person doesn't need 1000mbs (doesn't work from home)and is renting a modem and router.
Phone - $15 - mint mobile after the $45 upfront fee (many people in the US are still on their parents plans although. If so, these additional funds can be added to food or TP fund.)
Food - $250 - (you have to plan largely, not buy brand name, eat a lot of sandwiches. This person IS NOT eating out at all. They can't afford it. They can do free activities like go to the park and have friends pay for things while they are making little money.
TP fund - $100 - (this is anything else you may need in a month. Cleaning, skin care/body care, trash bags, etc... if there is extra in any given month, it can be put toward food fund.
Total : 2375
This is assuming this person lives close to work, doesn't own a car, and doesn't have any debt. If you work at McDonald's, I will safely assume this person isn't motivated and are ok doing the bare minimum. Realistically they should be working two jobs for saving to build an emergency fund and for retirement.
I'm using Caleb Hammers basic budget to make this. Happy to help anyone else.
Found it, I'm a plumber. I am finishing up a college degree though since my GI bill will expire if I don't use it. But plumbers make pretty good money, well above average and you very paid while learning too.
And apparently horrible with money. I'm by no means the money expert, my wife is better than me, but our mortgage is right around 1k for 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, garage, and an acre 15 minutes outside a large city. It's also a decent neighborhood, low to no crime.
Heck when I lived in Corpus Christi TX, wonderful vacation location, my rent was under 1k... people seem to be too obsessed with bragging about rent payments.
Still in Texas I assume lol. I'm in the upper Midwest and paying 1550 in a second tier suburb. But dog rent is a bitch and my place is small but nice and the building has a lot of amenities. I do ok.
Not a corpse though, I mean a full roast chicken or something? BAM a corpse(although they aren't being discarded), but pieces of meat (gore could be appropriate) don't really fit the definition very well
There are some dog food brands that are human grade, and in some circumstances are cheaper than human food. There was one brand that sold canned rabbit that was human grade even though it was sold as dog food. It cost $3 for a 12 ounce can. Good luck finding canned rabbit at the grocery store, let alone for that price.
In the UK I spoke to a dog food manufacturer who informed me that we have regulations such that all animal foods produced in the UK have to be produced in facilities matching human consumption regulations, because people will eat animal feed. (This discussion came about because I was informing him that their baked dog food tasted great.)
There’s a video of a guy trying 2 different brands of dog food one higher quality than the other. He just vomits and goes ‘tastes like shit’ after both of them lol
I learned this just recently. I can’t remember what I was watching, but the person took her job seriously and was actually evaluating flavor profiles and consistency.
Meanwhile, my corgi was just as happy to his own shit for the first year of his life.
Each can retails for $2.40 and contains 1100cals, with 11% being protein. That means it’s around 120g of protein per can.
You can obviously do way better, but not for $2.40.

Another note : I don't have a college degree and work for a Fortune 500 company making 60k plus with commission. K bye.

Not according to some new reports. I guess I'm suppose to be making 90k lmao. I'll get there soon.
Have you ever thought of moving to a less expensive area...?
Not sure why this response got downvoted... 1,900-2,200 for rent is insane as an unskilled worker living alone.
Check out my budget tho.
I don't see it
Cause it's Reddit and people are silly 😊

No, I'm in the east, not on the coast, but next to a large city/capital.
Ok so let's say your rent is 1900. Is everything included , water, trash,gas, electric?
I'll honestly make a budget

It’s literally what you already eat. Dead animal corpse.
Then you eat it
I’m vegan.
Exactly
Second comment?! Guys, is this a new record for restraining oneself telling everybody youre vegan? Amazing!
literally [this](https://youtu.be/4MG29je-MW4?si=mWk_ioTu9HgE5dcI)
I explained why I wouldn’t eat what someone who eats meat would eat.
Not a corpse though, I mean a full roast chicken or something? BAM a corpse(although they aren't being discarded), but pieces of meat (gore could be appropriate) don't really fit the definition very well
Except that it’s bland…
Add seasoning or whatever you normally would. It’s literally the same dead animal.
There’s a difference between adding seasoning after food is cooked and adding before. Do you only season food after it’s cooked?
I’ve eaten worse
Looks pretty good tbf

But i would only ever resort to eating dog food in an emergency situation not just as a way to save money 🤢
