$300/mo is $3,600 a year or two months of medical debt payments.
If your rent increase was $500/year, I'm guessing you are spending a lot more money on eating out than you realize. Take a moment to pull your statements for the last two or three months and analyze how much spending is going into each category.
- bradlys 4y agoHow does rent going up relate to eating out?
- vorpalhex 4y agoIf your rent went up $500/mo and you didn't scream and immediately flee, you are in a high cost of living area. That means eating out is expensive and has gotten more expensive in the last 120 days. If you eat out at all - and almost everyone does, quite a bit - then it is likely a big chunk of change. Even if you previously calculated it ("I spend about $200 a month on eating out...") that number is almost certainly wrong now and needs to be recalculated. It's possible parent doesn't eat out ever, just unlikely.
