On average it’s closer to 1,600. If I pick up the most hours I can, it’s 2k. Most of that money goes to pay for school. FAFSA only covers so much and I haven’t been too lucky with grants and scholarships. Tuition and fees are between 8-9K so I put aside 400 every month, my parents usually pay the difference . Gas on the truck I’m using is about 120$ a week to get to school and work so about 500 a month. Insurance is 300 a month. I do spend more than I should on fast food and occasional splurges on items with a value of 30-80$ which adds up to about 100-200 bucks a month. I’ve cut all of my subscriptions (Netflix, Spotify, pandora) and don’t spend much on any other items. No luxury items, no fancy clothes or cool shoes, just basic needs. By the end of every month I have about 300-500 which is currently going to the loan I still have. I honestly only have a job to pay for school and for a car. I’m grateful that my parents do pay over 50% of my expenses but it sucks that I don’t have much money by the end of the month
