    Entertainment $400.00
    Credit Card $450.00
    Food $370.00

    Her total monthly income is $6,093.75, and her monthly expenses are $4,389.27. Maddy has $1,704.48 in extra income per month. This is her cushion in the budget.
    6.51
    1. Heather’s budget is now
    Income Source Amount Expense Amount
    Nursing $3,765.40 Mortgage $1,240
    Part-time $672.00 Car Payment $489
    Student Loan $728
    Car Insurance $139
    Utilities $295
    Clothing $150
    Entertainment $300
    Credit Card $200
    Food $400
    Gasoline $250
    The changes have added $355.00 to her budget. As her extra income is $601.40, she can afford the changes.
    6.52
    1. Heather’s total income is $4,437.40.
    For the necessities, Heather should budget $2,218.70.
    For her wants, she should budget $1,331.22.
    For savings and extra debt service, she should budget $887.48.
    Her necessities total $3,536.00, which exceeds the suggested budget amount of $2,218.70.
    Her wants total $300.00, which is below the suggested budget amount of $1,331.22.
    Her excess income is $601.40, which is below the suggested budget amount of $887.48.
    Heather should make some changes.
    6.53
    1. Elijah should budget $1,631.72 for needs, $979.03 for wants, and $652.69 for savings and debt service. When choosing where to live, what to eat, and what to drive, he should make choices that keep those costs, combined with debt service costs, gasoline, and utilities, below $1,631.72. This means he will have to make decisions about what his priorities are. Elijah should then figure out his wants, and stay within the limits here, that is, keep those costs below $979.03. Finally, he can begin to build his savings with the remaining $652.69.
    6.54
    1. Her monthly income is $3,641.66.
    Needs (50%): $1,820.83, Wants (30%): $1,092.50, Savings (20%): $728.33
    2. $1,061.83
    3. $1,092.50, $728.33
    4. She only has budgeted $1,061.83 for other necessities. It is difficult to imagine Fran being able to afford to change jobs and move, unless she reallocates money that she would want to save or use for entertainment or takes on another job. If Fran uses all the money that the 50-30-20 budget sets aside for savings, she then would have $1,790.16 to spend on those other necessities. If she moves away from the 50-30-20 philosophy, she may be able to afford the move. However, that means changing her priorities.
