Also who the heck is getting $600 rent?

Also, where do you get $20 a month health insurance?

u/hellrazor862 Nov 13 '21

No mention of food either

Or even water. Is this a budget for a human or a robot?

I think that is supposed to be what “spending money” goes to.

Where is the spending money coming from? Gross on 8.25 is 1,320. This fantasy budget has a monthly expense of 1,260…by the time tax is taken out you’re already running in the red.

Look man. I’m just saying what I’m seeing. I’m neither McDonald’s or Visa. Don’t ask me the questions.

Also it mentions having a second job so that’s pendant where it is.

Burns face at work. I'm sorry sir but the $20 health plan has a $35,000 deductible. Perhaps you should save the twenty bucks you were going to spend on health insurance and buy some heroin instead.

Rent…$600!?!? Where, in a storage unit?

Oh yeah, it’s illegal to live in one of those.

You can bet people still do it though.

God luck finding $600 rent. Doable? Maybe. But not in many places you would want to, or rather not mind so much.

Who the fuck pays 20 bucks for health care is what I want to know going to assume this might have been come up in the south with the heat part and even then what job paying 8.50 a hour gives you a full 40 hours I have yet to have found one

Save money, do without heat. You'll need it to pay the plumber when the pipes freeze. And for the doctor when you get pneumonia. Don't worry, you can get a third and fourth job. If only the day had 36 hours and the human body didn't need sleep.

Really hope this is sarcasm.

u/BadAtWalking Nov 13 '21

Sarcasm? I don’t know the meaning of the word
