Moving Out

[Captain Crunch]

I'm looking for a temp room for 4-8 months, before I look for a long term apartment.
If I account the rent; food, travel expenses, phone, etc. then times the total by 16%, is that a great way to determine what the total expenses will be?

So for example, if it cost say $1000 per month(rent; food, travel expenses, phone, internet) then times the $1000 by 16%($1160), will that most likely be what I'll pat AT WORST per month in total expenses?

1000? For all that? Where they do that?

How did you arrive at this 16% ??

I think that 16% is a good contingency amount. Once you have the real numbers you can always adjust.

I think that if you're living in NY, $1000 is an unreasonable figure to begin with in the first place for all of those things, even with the 16% added on.

I was using that as an example and throwing out numbers.

Get two separate checking accounts. Put your money for bills plus contingency in one account and use the other for "spending" and make the spending account the only one linked to your debit card. That way if someone gets a hold of your debit card, bill money won't be impacted.

What's this 16% added on business about? If you want to spend a thousand a month tops, then do it

I add the 16% as a tip, because you may see some rates flucturate(phone bill; travel, etc), so adding .16% extra calculates my expenses at WORST CASE.
Just like if I go away for travel, you wanna calculate your expenses(flight; taxi, food, board, etc) then add a little extra just to be safe.
