Ah Heather! I love this article!
I roughly make around 1400-1500 a month after tax, insurance deduction..etc my rent is around $790 renting a room in a house with a housemate in SF including utilities..Thank god for the extra $1000 allowance non taxable cash or else I think i would be hungry for a long time. Also its so hard to look for a second job because since this is my primary job and my schedule is not flexible..Sometimes I don't know how I put food on my plate. I find buying groceries is the hardest because i don't know when i am leaving and coming home and I don't want to buy too much groceries and it will become spoiled and go to waste. It is definitely a lifestyle but It's sure is taking me a long time to adjust. Couple of my classmates already quit and they live at home. I must sure be passionate about this job huh... lol

thanks for another good read :)
