"How can you save when you are a Computer science graduate earning 10 bucks an hour in a "manufacturing" job in McDonald's"

At least we know what you do now.

Live in a tent, eat only enough to stay alive, try to find better jobs and update your skills. Over time, you will do very well. If you are too friggin' lazy to get with the program, then you should die.

Try moving to a country you actually LIKE. Maybe you can get a job chasing sheep...

How can you save when you are a Computer science graduate earning 10 bucks an hour in a "manufacturing" job in McDonald's, your wife is a EE graduate and is earning 8 bucks an hour in Wal-Mart, and your dog is earning just 2 bucks an hour (by performing tricks outside Wal-Mart?),

If the McDonald's is inside the Wal-Mart, you can save on gas.

Are you saying you can't do it.... or are you asking for some helpful ideas? We're pretty compassionate here so..... btw, what's the dog's name?

Dipy,

If you work full time, do you get paid vacation at McDonalds and WalMart?

$10.00 * 40 * 52 = $20,800
$ 8.00 * 40 * 52 = $16,640
$ 2.00 * 40 * 50 = $ 4,000 (assuming the dog doesn't get vacation pay) :-)

Total Husband + Wife + dog = $41,440 /yr
