On How Much is Your Phone Bill Each Month?
@calamity Sometimes my "check" to my parents is actually groceries or buying something for my younger sis when we're out and about.

On How Much is Your Phone Bill Each Month?
$40 at Tmobile (well, to my parents, technically) - $10 for my family plan line + $30 for unlimited data. Since I pretty much only text & use data, it was way cheaper to do this than get my own plan. I did pay just about full price for my Galaxy S3 when I upgraded from my dumb phone in Oct, though.

On Just In Case We Die It's All Settled OK Ciao!
My mom & dad finally took a long-delayed trip to Ireland last month and, three days before, my mother was on the internet trying to draw up wills and texting me with questions: Does it matter if I put the order of [x] differently on your dad's than on mine? Do I need to indicate something about our digital property? What's digital property?

On How Much Do You Spend on Transportation Each Month?
I ride a 250cc scooter, walk, & take the train to visit my family about once a month. $20-30 on gas (usually closer to $20 unless I go out of town) + $10 for the train (one way, since they drive me back) = $40 max, under $30 on average.

On What Percentage of Your Pay Do You Spend on Rent?
Even sharing a house with someone else, my rent in Orange County (CA) 39% of my monthly take-home pay (although it's only 26% of my yearly salary, thanks to deductions & our pay schedule). It would be more if my landlord made us pay the homeowners association dues. And then there's the 17-23% of my paycheck that goes to student loans...

On What Percentage of Your Pay Do You Spend on Rent?
@stuffisthings I pay 39% of take-home on rent. When I rent privately, my landloards have only ever really cared about my ability to pay the first month’s rent and security deposit. When I lived in an apartment community, they took my roommate & my income together to qualify us. I think a lot of landlords in areas like this recognize that cost of living is high, so the “rent multiplier” is lower.

On What'd You Spend On Your Bed? Like $200? Does That Sound Right?
Ack. Site ate my comment. Basically, I would say find a cheap frame online but buy your mattress at a physical store. It's so important to try things out, talk to the sales folks (as long as they're not too pushy), AND you can figure out the whole delivery/set up situation. Also, a cheap frame/bed is fine, but don't get too chintzy with your mattress. I don't know that $200 all in will get you something you'll be happy with.

On Friday Estimate
@Beezus JURASSIC PARK IN IMAX! That's what we're doing, too! No children in our group, so pre-show drinks are definitely on the table.

On Friday Estimate
Last weekend was a lot less expensive than I anticipated, but this one will probably make up for it. A friend is coming into town for a Jurassic Park IMAX 3-D Extravaganza, so here's what I'm anticipating: $5 - snacks and drinks for Sat morning hike $18 - movie tickets (the only place that's showing it is Downtown Disney so...yeah) $5 - movie snacks $20-30 - drinks at Downtown Disney tiki bar $30 - lunch and dinner Sat + breakfast Sun Drinks and food could turn out to be more, seeing as I've never been to this bar and have no idea where we're eating. So, let's say under $100 for the weekend?
