I think $500 per month is plenty for a single girl's food, gas, car repairs, misc., etc.) . Especially if this is the number AFTER her aggressive savings to retirement accounts and fixed expenses. GREAT job! Fabulous! I think $500 per month is plenty for a single girl’s food, gas, car repairs, misc., etc.) .

Once I'm settled in a house and have started my PhD programs, I may come to you for a bit of advice/coaching. Sometimes, I think I'm destined to be living a "bohemian" (that is my nice way of saying broke at the moment) life. Sounds great!

I guess you are really working towards a future goal but I could not live on $500 for the month after all my fixed costs are factored in. Or maybe I could but it would be a very big commitment on my part. Something to think about. oh wow… I guess you are really working towards a future goal but I could not live on $500 for the month after all my fixed costs are factored in.
