    Lol, did you not read their expenses? 23*40*52=47840/12=3986.66*(8/10)=3189.33 Say taxes and such only 20%, likely more if they have any health insurance. 1850 out with rent & student loans.Take away the food 400. Leaves for electric (150), water (25), trash(10), car note(300), gas(150), maintenance (30), car insurance (180) Netflix(15) Internet (40) prepaid phone (20)

    Leaving $19.33, assuming I didn’t miss any reasonable expenses. Good luck saving up for anything or cutting down expenses, maybe return to a the college diet of ramen til you can pay off the car, if not indefinitely. 1 unexpected expense away from disaster.

    E: Fixed the number formatting, ty!

        10 dollars a month shouldn’t break the budget of someone working full time.

          Yah, that was my thinking, and chances are they can get Netflix and other services for free from friends/family. But if a trip through a drive through destroyed the budget, bigger issues.
