Numbers and More Numbers….

So I’ve been extremely focused on my budget, why? Im not exactly sure cause math is my least favorite and least smartest subject. But somehow its all making sense. I’ve been researching apartments that I could afford that were in a good area. Working the numbers and doing the budgets as if I already was staying there. Ive got it down to two different places… Mill Creek and Quail Forrest.

 

I like both of them alot, and I like Mill Creek because it has a screened in porch. But doing the math and pretending I have rent, Ive got the numbers. After paying all the bills, tithing and rent….

At Mill Creek I would have $156.05 the first paycheck left over and $311.05 the second paycheck.

At Quail Forrest I would have $202.05 the first paycheck left over and $357.05 the second paycheck.

That price doesnt include the food, gas and power…whatever bills you have when your living in an apartment. So the difference is like $90+

It will change of course, because I guessed working full-time 80hrs a week at $11.00 an hour. I put my pay being at $750 and my car insurance instead of being $80 I got it reduced to $40+ but I budgeted for it being $80.

So that is where I am at right now. I wont know anything about the job being permanent thing till probably the end of December. Till then, Im pulling $200 out of each paycheck to put towards moving. Im not getting my hopes up, but I am planning ahead. Any Advice??
