Student Budget #1: Marcus works at the lumber yard and makes $11.50 an hour. With his academic and sports schedule, he is able to work 20 hours a week. Marcus lives at home, so he has very few bills, one of which is a cell phone that costs $85 a month. He is responsible for car insurance, which is $1,100 a year, and he has to pay for gas, maintenance and repairs ($150 a month). His parents also provide him with meals at home, but he likes to eat out with his friends at least two times a week ($8 each meal). He has health insurance under his parent's plan. Later this year, he wants to buy a 50-inch flat screen television for $2,000, so he has been saving $167 every month.
