Economy is great! Don't know what you're talking about.

This post reminds me to appreciate everything I'm fortunate enough to have. Hang in there OP, I wish there was a way I could help you

-2.9% GDP.. lowest sincr 2008 recession in the United States, and believe me, those numbers affect the world economies as well.. Fortunately, private industry wont pay heed to Federal Oversight that hinders business, theyll just relocate.. thus the imvisible hamd of prosperity will continue, regardless of government influence..

Reminds me of my bank account. Time are tough, :(

Not even enough for a Mcchicken...

Aren't they only a dollar

Where?

Where I live, prices went up ages ago...

lol not in Canada.. they're 1.50 here

Here in Norway they cost around 8$ :(

8 USD or Norwegian currency? Not sure I would pay $8 for a chicken sandwich at McD

You had me until "brah". Seriously, people are still saying that?

Last i heard a Bra was an inanimate object that held womens breasts. But, maybe im just not hipster enough to know the difference.

Regardless of budgeting some people (myself included) have to live paycheck to paycheck because of their crappy jobs. No amount of budgeting is going to make my rent any cheaper or my paycheck any higher. Its five days until payday and I've got 32 cents to my name, and nothing could have changed that.

Why assume that OP doesn't manage their money? For all you know they paid all of their bills and had that left afterwards....

This isn't poor money management. This is living paycheck to paycheck on a crap job that pays for shit. This is my weekly life thanks to bills every check and only getting paid twice a month....

#35, in my mind I read that in a Ned Flanders voice.

One does not simply do something Obama.

Hasn't Obama bailed you out from his own pocket yet? He did for me.

#5. You're. How about you help yourself first?

It shouldn't be up to the government to help every person who's having hard times. It's not exactly like the US has extra money to spare

Obama can't help this guy... he is Canadian

Why is everything always blamed on the government? God people are lazy.

Just to be fair our money has no value. Just what the government tells us. Thank you fiat system.

It's one dollar in America.

That's 60p in the UK, wow a double cheeseburger here is about £1.69 ($2.88)

Better quality, higher price.

Just saying you can't get anything for 60p

Junior Chickens are really cheep!

You can never go wrong with a pack of Skittles either.

a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush! :)

no, 25

but a hand in the bush is best! maybe that was too far...

A bird with a bush is worth two hands?

hmm..
