water and trash pick up expenses, credit cards, savings account, you did not allow enough for gas or groceries, over the counter meds, health deductables,laundromat?, dental, haircuts, entertainment, your phone/inet seems a bit low to me, cell phone?, charitable giving?, printer ink, I hope you have a small pet...

Good Luck and happy moving out! :)

Ok, what are you trying to do? Live on welfare? You are way off on alot of things!!

There are many things you are forgetting... and if you are planning on buying ur own health insurance and are not on medical assistance.. it could cost you up to 600 or more per month, even if you are healthy.

Also, Water, Trash and Sewage may not be included, and when you wrote Gas, I don't know if you mean, house gas or car gas... and pet expenses are even more depending on what type of pet you have. Cat & Dogs are EXPENSIVE!!!

If you are currently living with parents you should stay there and save up money!! Get a good job, go to college!!

Whatever, I don't know your situation, but don't depend on WELFARE!!

Parking, entertainment at least rent a movie! Consider 50 per month for extras.

Couple of things to think about:
- Any prescriptions that you need to get monthly?
- Auto registration and licensing
- Will you need to pay to do laundry?
- May want to save a little each month for Holiday gift giving

I'm sure some others have other things to think about.

Gas bill if the complex uses gas for heating. One of the apartment complexes that I used to live in also charged water bills that ran about 25-30/mo.

I know they are far and few between, but I might also consider pounding the pavement to see if I could possibly come up with an apartment that included heat and electric or atleast one of the two.
good luck to you!

I'm wondering where you'll find a place to live that is that inexpensive. Do you already have furniture, blankets, towels, light bulbs and lamps?
Will you have to pay to do laundry?

You may want to set aside some money for gifts, if you give them.
