How Much Money Do You Need to Survive?

This exercise may seem mundane compared with the other selfexplorations in this book, but it is certainly no less important. If you can calculate approximately how much money you actually need on a monthly basis to survive at a basic level, it will be clearer to you what you must focus on for salary and financial assistance in various forms. So on the budget below estimate an amount for each item that applies to you (enter $0 for the items that do not apply or that you can do without). Be realistic! Don’t underestimate, but focus on basic needs. This is a very detailed budget list so you can be as accurate as possible.
