Monthly Expenses
Housing Costs: $0. I just moved back to my hometown after living in Austin for another job. My parents welcomed me back to my childhood home with open arms. (I should probably mention that I am of South Asian descent, and living with your parents before marriage is really common in our culture!)
Loan Payments: $0. Thank you, Mom and Dad!
