$450 rent for a small one bedroom apartment with gas and heat paid

$30-$40 a month for electric bill which also includes 2 window air conditioners during the summer months

$100 roughly covers cable and internet and possibly a land line

$56 dollars a month for unlimited talk, text, and long distance for a cell phone

$40 car insurance

$200 car note

$600 for 3 different student loan companies

$400-$800 on food. Depends on how long I am at work and what I am doing for the day

This of course doens't include any shopping, entertainment, nessessities or medical costs and it is already over what I make per month. I also work a minumum of 60 hrs a week between 2 jobs so I don't make minimum wage either. This is rediculous and it only gets worse when I think of moving somewhere else!
