Ok well some of you may have read my other thread about my bf's parents eating the food we buy for ourselves since groceries are hardly ever done around here...and alot of you suggested we move out b/c we were pretty much paying the same amount to live here as it would to live on our own.
Well that time might have just come...my bf's mom told him today that my bf's stepdad's daughter is moving out here, and that means WE have to help finish the other bedroom up here so she can move in, we have some problems with this:
1. We shouldn't have to help finish the bedroom for her, were not the ones who want her out here, we had to help finish our bedroom why can't she come out here and help?
2. We better get a door on our bedroom if she is moving out here
3. My bf's stepdad must think his family is royalty, since the only reason our bedroom got finished so fast was so they could have the bedroom downstairs we were in to make more room in the living room for his family at xmas time (their bedroom was previously in the living room) and after this room was done (mind you it still isn't completly finished) the rest of the upstairs was forgotten about. Oh, and they had 4 couches downstairs, THREE in the living room, and one on the front porch that they got from somewhere a couple weeks ago and it looks brand new, anyway they recently got rid of one in the living room, and took it to the dump, it was still perfectly fine, but my bf's moms reasoning was 'oh it was only in here for when joe's family came at xmas' they didn't even think to offer it to us for our room, we can't watch TV together b/c we have one recliner that is falling apart...
4. Get this, my bf pays $100/wk right now to live here, they want $50/wk from me but I'm only working one day a week and I would never pay that much to live here, anyway my bf's stepdads daughter...get this...doesn't have to pay a CENT just b/c she is his daughter and apparently can't afford it when she is working at Tim Hortons full time, making the same or more than my bf is per hour.
5. When she moves out here, we won't be able to do anything..such as watch TV or have privacy, b/c she is a stuck up yuo know what, and all she will have to do is complain to daddy and daddy will make it all better, which means we will be getting in trouble for everything. I've known her the entire time I've known my bf (we have been dating for 4 years, known eachother for 6) and I know how she is...it will be **** with her up here, b/c we won't matter at all, it will be whatever she wants she gets, and my bf's mom won't stick up for us b/c she has no backbone and can't stand up to my bf's stepdad at all.
ANYWHO....we don't want to be here when she comes out...so were thinking of just leaving, we called my bf's friend but he is moving out this month with his girlfriend...anyway like I said I'm only working one day a week right now but I told m bf I would work full time if I have too.
I'm trying to come up with a budget and Im wondering if it looks ok?
Rent - $500 - $600/mth (for a one bedroom, all inclusive (utilities included) and appliances included - fridge and stove usually, which is how most apartments around here are)
Groceries - $100/wk, $400/mth
Cigarettes - $50/wk, $100/mth (Only my bf smokes)
Gas - $30/wk, $120/mth
Insurance - $200/mth (I'm guessing at this, we will probably put it in my name once I get my G2 in September since it will more than likely be cheaper, we have never gotten a straight answer from my bf's mom about how much his insurance is, and I know that my friend paid $164/mth for her 95 sport accent, and here if your a girl its cheaper and if you take drivers training it is cheaper but only by about 10%, I didn't take drivers training, but our car is not a sport (sport models are more expensive), it is a 95 as well though, so I'm estimating about $200 to make up for the fact that I didn't take drivers training.)
Other - $200/mth (Including $60/mth for cells - no need for a phone with cells, $40/mth for internet, $30-$40 for TV etc.)
My bf makes around $1500-$1600/mth right now (again that is an estimate, using his hourly wage x 80 hours (paid bi-weekly) then subtracting 20% for taxes.
I will make anywhere between $500-$1000 making minimum wage working part time or full time.
So I'm wondering if this looks ok...I dont think I forgot anything??? Thanks.
