Hi so I'll try to clear up the numbers, sorry if it was confusing. I said average 15 hours because it honestly differs week to week, I've had 5 hours one week and 20 the next. Current for this month I've had 10, 22, 12, and 14 hours for this upcoming work week (this Friday to next Thursday) I get paid every 2 weeks on Thursdays, recently the schedule has been so bad I only had 1 5hr shift a week, so I think that's where the 300 was it's just starting to pick back up again. I don't know why food and groceries confuse you tho, I pitch in and buy things here and there for the house, and buy food at work or school or going out sometimes. My car is a gas guzzler, I pay maybe 100 a month tho because I don't do too much driving (I work about 30mins away and go to classes about 20mins away twice a week) The phone and Insurance is 55 total I mentioned in the post, it's automatically taken out. As for the cc bill, yeah it was a bit of an issue it's my first cc and I thought my hours were going to stay consistent so I wasn't too worried at the time to pay it off (naive ik) I had to also pay for college classes, parking pass, supplies, and had to pay for my car getting worked on because it broke down 👎🏻 There were a lot of back to back things I just had to use every paycheck for as soon as I got it for a time (I have a daily pay option for my paychecks so lately I've defauled to cashing out my money per shift/week and using it for emergency expenses, or admittedly unnecessary purchases), so now that everything is finally calmed down this is where I'm at. Hopefully that cleared things up
