Q: These seem really low. What's up with that?
A: These represent half our overall expenses. We are a two income family and split the expenses down the middle.

Q: That food budget still seems low, even if it's just for you.
A: The company I work for provides me with lunch and dinner each day. That's a huge savings as you might imagine.

Q: Your transportation costs seem low as well.
A: My car is paid in full, leaving gas and insurance the two major bills. My company is less than 3 miles from my home, which keeps my gas expense low.
