They also divide their utilities in half, and Cassie pays $150. Fortunately, she has health insurance under her mom’s plan.

She also spends $40 a week for groceries and $15 for eating out each week. Cassie also puts 10% of her take home pay in her savings account and gives 10% of her take home pay to the local food pantry. Assume Cassie is tax exempt! No taxes will be taken out.
