    Just get yourself 2 fulltime McDogshit jobs, work 16 hours and sleep the remaining 8, you’ll have enough to eat and you won’t have any expenses since you don’t have time to do literally anything!

    Now keep doing that for around 300 years and you miight have enough hashbrowns saved up to make a deposit on a house!

      So I’m not sure what your math is for this but I made me intrigued to just check something.

      So assuming a person literally did this. Got 2 back-to-back positions at a minimum wage paying McDs. Put the first paycheck into paying just for hasbrowns for calories, put the second entirely into the cost of a house bank account right now and do nothing but sleep the last 8 hours. And don’t move on days off to avoid requiring calories.

      Ready for this?

      You would have enough saved up to buy a house in 29 years.

      At the average house cost of course which is now $418,000. Up 36% since 2020.

      Holy shit.

          I worked in fast food when I was in my 20s back in the 90s and even back then the managers watched like a hawk to make sure you weren’t stealing more than your one free meal you got at your short break. And the technology was nowhere near the level it is now. I would not be surprised if every single hash brown patty is accounted for through networked scales and the employees are on camera the whole time these days.
