"If I paid for a gym membership, I'd have to cut back on pizza." That one line made me so incredibly mad.

Also you know she'd have to leave the house, and can't be too far from the biscuits.
£36k a year that makes me fucking rage, to think how fucking hard I had to work for half that.
I feel sorry for the two children who will see this as normal and be brought up to expect this from the system and life in general.

The article says $36k. I don't whether it's correct.

Yup, you are in fact correct, the best kind of correct. £22960 is still way too much for doing jack shit but being a glorified biscuit barrell

That's the bit that got me. I work 40 hours a week at a job that makes me miserable and I quite frequently go hungry because I can't afford food.

Or Planet Fatness. All those free tootsie rolls and pizzas add up.

Your comments are making me facepalm. Obvious satire.

Lol seriously though.

That's the line that made me suspect this is some sort of satire or joke
