1. We chose to live in an apartment at 191 S. Lincloln in El Cajon for 820 dollars a month with a 500 dollar deposit. It has a pool but does not allow any pets. we chose it because it is fairly cheap.

2. First off rent was 410 dollars each because we decided to split the cost of the apartment. Second was utilities like water and electricity, since we were unable to use candles as our light source because you said not to, we split the cost and it came out to be 25 dollars each. The next thing was the phone cable and internet bill since we will only be in school for part of the day we need something to keep us occupied for the rest, so we looked and found the cox bundle and got all three of these in one package and split the price, so we payed 45 dollars each. And then there was laundry, we couldn't have just gone all old school and done it in the bathtub so instead we did the laundrymat and since we aren't going to do eachothers laundry we paid 20 dollars a month there. Then was food so as a guy you tend to eat a whole lot of food so we ended up both spending 150 dollars a month each. For transportation we used public trasportation and it ended up being 64 dollars a month each. Lastly was entertainment everyone needs a little of that we had a total of 165 dollars between the two of us going into entertainment a month, pretty good I think. And one more thing was our monthly savings for school, we were both saving 400 dollars a month each.

3. Andrew spent 1039 dollars and saved 300 dollars for schools and put 161 dollars in a savings account the first month. For the other five months he spent 789 dollars and saved 400 dollars for school and saved 311 dollars as regular savings each month. Kyle spent 1049 dollars, saved 300 dollars for school, and put 151 dollars in a savings account the first month. The other five months Kyle spent 849 dollar, saved 400 dollars for school, and put 271 dollars into his savings account each month.

4. It was not very hard to make our decisions regarding savings and expenditures because we found a fairly cheap apartment then we made sure that we paid for or necesities like utilities, phone, internet, cable, laundry, and transportation. We then made sure that we saved enough for school. After all of those expenses we figured out how much it would cost us to eat each month then decided how much to spend on entertainment then saved what was left over.

5. Both of us saved all 2300 dollars for school and still had money left over to put into a savings account.
