now the cheapest macdonald's health plan is $50 but for $20 you can get a tournicut, a bottle of night train and a bite stick. now you might be saying to yourself, stephen, i can't do all this on a mcdonald's salary. well, that's where you're right. because the budget assumes you're working a second job. which of course won't be easy but that does mean two christmas parties. just be sure to fill your pockets with shrimp and maybe a can of sterno because, remember, you have no heat. after all the expenses have been paid you're still left with $800 in monthly spending money for odds and enders like clothing, food, and gas: luckily your polyester mcdonald's uniform qualifies as all three. so if you work two jobs at 75 hours a week and follow this budget to the letter, mcdonald's nonbindingly promises you'll have $100 for savings a month because mcdonald's says, "you can have almost almost you want as long as you plan ahead and save for it." unless the thing you want is money. so stop complaining, four million fast food workers. macdonald's may have net a profit last quarter of $1.39 billi
