lets look at it from what I consider a destitute level with no rent 100 per month for dsl, phone 100 per month for 2 cell phones 30 per day for gas to go back and forth to kerrville to pick up lawn mowers for 900 per month 125 approx for groceries each week, mostly beer, ribs or chicken quarters and beans. 150 per month for electricity 50 per month for propane
There are things I'm forgetting, I'm sure. But if you were to add in insurance, medical, car payment, etc. you would rapidly go over 1,200 per month. This allows me to make about 500 per week fixing lawnmowers. So thats about 25,000 per year and I don't figure I'm making it, at least in my mind. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Theisen" <[email protected]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2010 10:34 AM Subject: [OT] Is $1200 a month "plenty"? > Hi Everybody, > > I just had some c*nt doctor tell me that I should have money to spare if > I am getting $1200 a month.
