My heart bleeds. I do hope she'll be all right.
On the other side...Lobster Thermador, Wagu Beef Tips...
Credit cards didn’t count?
Seriously? I’ve got plenty of experience cutting corners with a food budget, both now, and in my youth-and frankly, she’s wasting money on processed crap like hot dogs and ramen instead of getting some more fresh veggies and fruit in season-for the same price-to go with the eggs, tuna, chicken, etc.
I take it she has never bought ground beef and made goulash or chili? How about putting chicken and fresh veggies in a crust for homemade pot pie? 86 the pasta for more protein-she doesn’t know how to cook a pot of beans, lentils, split peas, etc with hamhocks or cheap bacon pieces? That broad needs a cookbook of low budget made-from-scratch meals...
Gosh! She eats 2x as much as me and I’m 210 lbs.
why only $4000/yr?
anyone making $7.25/hr for 40 hrs/wk would make $15,080/yr which is a single person. as a single person on minimum, the expectation would not be for them to live in a mansion. most likely a roommate scenario
assuming $400/mon for rent, $4800/yr, that would leave $10,220.
what happened to the other $6220?
She couldn’t eat all that if she would have added the costs in there for dope and booze.
Poor dear. She clearly doesn’t even know how to cook. She will remember this period of privation for the rest of her life as she chows down at pricey restaurants.
She won’t last. There’s no Kosher stuff there! Bet her staff is covertly bringing her a load of Lox, Bagels and Creme Cheese, lest she perish.
