$1387 x .75 = $1040 (after taxes)
$1040 - $850 = $190
That leaves you $190 a month for everything else.
Its tough to do in San Diego, is all I'm saying.

I'm not arguing that you should live in a hovel. I think roommates are a vital part of growing up. I just think you could have left years ago, had you wanted to.
And I say that as a mother who will probably have to be forcibly taken from her son when he tries to leave.
