Volunteering at The Old Brewery Mission today, I was talking to this student from the state about music, being poor and how $1 for a meal at the Brewery cost less than anything we can prepare ourselves. It even beats Spaghetti and Sauce. We were having a blast exchanging experience about how to get by with no money, when all of a sudden, he mentioned his mini IPOD and how cheap they are at $200 per unit.

In my mind right then, I screamed.

So I calculated my expenses and here they are going to be per month:

Rent: $600 utilities included
Food: $200
Dance Lessons: $200
Dance practices: $80
Bus pass: $70
Phone + internet: $70

$1220

2ND CUP will give me 40 hr per week at about $7.40
$1184

Nordia will give me 37 hr per week at about $12.50
$1850

Seems pretty obvious which one I should take… OH wait hold on. Gotta deduct the taxes… FUCK!
After tax deduction I get 1535 for Nordia and 1000 for 2nd Cup.

I need to find an apartment that's less than $500. Ugh… need roomates.
