The Reality of a College Budget Plan

On the budget assignment I wasn't expecting to pay for EVERYTHING. The idea is really scary especially when there are people who have to pay for everything. Being on a salary that low is kind of disappointing and makes me feel sad.  I did expect the price payed for gas to be high, that's why I am planning on walking/riding a bike most of the time.  On my budget plan, I realized that the cost for clothes was $70 a month and I'm pretty sure I won't be spending thaaaat much on clothes (or maybe I will).  I realize that you have to spend your money on things that are needed because you can't afford not to.  I do not think I am ready to take on this responsibility, but what we can do now is find summer jobs or find local things we can participate in in order to raise money.
