I am not going into debt for nor do I have financial aid, so that $1,100 includes an amount for tuition every month. If I broke it down, it would be Rent-$450 Tuition-$400 Insurance-$50 (renter's and car) Internet-$50 Grocery and misc-$150 Gas is not a category since my employer pays it. If I had to, I could probably cut $100 out a month by getting less coverage on insurance, getting worse internet and by cutting misc expenses. Thanks, Hannah I actually live on $1,100 a month as a full-time student living on my own. I am not going into debt for nor do I have financial aid, so that $1,100 includes an amount for tuition every month. If I broke it down, it would be
Rent-$450
Tuition-$400
Insurance-$50 (renter’s and car)
Internet-$50
Grocery and misc-$150
Gas is not a category since my employer pays it. If I had to, I could probably cut $100 out a month by getting less coverage on insurance, getting worse internet and by cutting misc expenses.

Thanks,
Hannah

If we lived somewhere that lacked public transportation, well, we'd be out of luck. However, I assume we'd have lower rent. And if we had dependents, that would bust our budget as well.
