Damn, two full-time jobs just to scrap by.As Jim Cook at Irregular Times notes, the $1,105 figure up top is roughly what the average McDonald's cashier earning $7.72 an hour would take home each month after payroll taxes, if they worked 40 hours a week. So this budget applies to someone just about working two full-time jobs at normal fast-food pay.

There's been a trend lately of minimum wage employers playing scheduling games with employees to prevent them from finding a second job, where an employer might give you four morning shifts then an evening to throw a wrench into job 2's schedule. It's actually pretty sickening.
