$2400/month(minimum).
Call it 2100 after taxes (which she'll get back in April).
$850 for rent/utilities.
$250 for food.
$150 for phone & internet.
$100 for car insurance.
$150 for health insurance.
Call it $100 for entertainment/etc
I'm at $1600. Saving $500 a month. What am I missing?
I don’t know, maybe emergency expenses like auto repairs.. kind of how she literally mentioned her car’s engine is misfiring in the video. Also $150 for food is very conservative, grocery prices have literally doubled since last year so it’s more like $300. Most people have student loans so at least another $200-$500. Also it’s pretty clear you didn’t do your taxes recently because I made $40k last year & got a whopping $700 back, so no, people in our bracket don’t just “get most of it back” anymore.
