McDonalds can and is a luxury unless you order off the dollar menu. Im in my late 20's, in school full time, work, who survives in Denver with roughly 30k annual income. I'm a meathead, go to the gym regularly and eat more than both my roommates combined. McDonalds is convenient, but it is a luxury. When I cook at home, I can and do get double the food with higher nutritional content than I would spending the same money at McDonalds. Yes its tough to cook and being a full time student that doesn't take a semester off and works knows how tough it is to cook with a struct time budget, but it doesn't stop me. That is where good food prep and time management comes into play.
Also if I don't go off the dollar menu, I can eat at Chipotle, a good sandwich shop, noodles and company, tokyo joes,smash burger, etc. for the same amount of money I would spend at McDonalds or Wendy's or any other fast food establishments. The funny thing is, I can spend the same amount at chipotle and get a meal that has a higher nutritional content and healthier foods. Mcdonalds is an absolute luxury and thats coming from somebody who while isn't living in poverty, is poor.
