Hi Amber,

To answer your questions:
Health Insurance- I mentioned I received that for free.
Vision Insurance- It’s not worth it to me when I can buy prescription lenses for $15 online.
Car Maintenance- That is in the Misc. budget and typically around $2-300/yr.
Water bill- Included in the rent for that apartment.
School supplies and clothes- Not applicable to my life.
Unforeseen medical bill- I mentioned I have savings as well but don’t share the dollar amount.

I understand it is not possible for everyone to live on this budget, but it is certainly not a joke and was my actual living costs in that area.

I could go on and on. What about an unforeseen medical bill?]]> Wheres health insurance? Thats another minimum of $100/ month. You got dental but what about vision insurance. Car maintenance? Water bill? This has got to be a joke 😅 School supplies? School clothes? I could go on and on. What about an unforeseen medical bill?

This is about what we spend for our family of 5 (3 kids), so I am feeling pretty good about what we spend. Of course, we could certainly save more!

I’m a single 53 year old woman. I’m a freelance journalist and recently escaped an extremely abusive relationship. I’m moving from my small town and trying to limit my budget as much as possible as my abuser put me in financial ruin.
I’m also looking for any programs, grants etc. who may help me with this situation.
