20. Help Amari evaluate his budget. His current rent payment is $1,300 a month and his utilities total $150 each month. Amari spends $100 on a bundle for his house phone, cell phone, internet and cable bill every month. He has always believed that it is important to live a healthy lifestyle so he spends $450 a month on groceries and $89.00 a month for a gym membership. His health insurance for the month totals $200.00. Amari does not have much time to go out but he makes sure that he treats himself to dinner and a movie at least twice a month that costs $40.00 each time. He always puts away $250 each month into his personal savings account for retirement so he will not use this money for paying bills. Amari also puts away $25.00 each week for a vacation fund (assume that there are 4 weeks in a month). Amari loves his lattes and spends $4.50 on coffee 3 times a week. Amari wants to purchase a car but is not sure if it will fit his budget. Compute Amari's income and expenses and determine if he can afford buying a new car
