Hello every one, I am a girl with stable salary, but my salary is not high, and I am living in a city which demands quite high expense, I have to make every penny count. I spend RMB650 in housing and electricity and water, spend around 500 in food, around 200 in daily necessaries, 80 in transportation, 100 in mobile phone all these already RMB 1530, and I spend some extra money on shopping, clothing and anything else. I can not afford luxious things. How about you? How much do you spend on your living?

Not much. I don't work, but no matter what, I pay my phone bill every month. that is $60 or $61 whatever give or take and I make sure that gets paid. I get food stamps about $325; that's a great help. I pay $20 for a monthly bus pass. I had paid my mom $50 for the internet. bless her heart, she's been taking care of that without my help since I lost my job. Once I get some money, I want to pay her in full for that. I feel she deserves that. But that's about the heart of it.

Where I live, my parents owned it. They finished paying the mortgage not long after I came back home around 1999; We went to make sure and they sent the letter to confirm it. So I don't pay rent or nothing.
