Living on your own...

Holden Caulfield states that he would like to run away from home and live alone. He is very frustrated with his passage from teenager to adult. In order to get on the same page as Holden and what he is thinking about, you too will research how feasible it is to live on your own as a teenager by outlining how much it would cost, where you would live, where you would have to work, how much you would have to make, and what you would have to buy in this scenario.
Here is what your classmates have found out:
-------------
~TYLER, ZACH, SHANE, KRISTEN, ACE
 
Tyler-650
Ace- 0
Zach-600
Kirsten-500
Shane-700
 
             When we combine how much each of us makes a month, it totals around $2450. We found an apartment located in Coralville that costs us 645 a month. We decided that Shane would take over the cost of rent, while Tyler would take care of all the utilities, then Zach would sell his $13,000 car and Tyler would sell his $1500 car, so we could pay for health insurance. We also decided that Kristen would take care of all needs that have to do with food or drink. Since Ace makes no money and has no car, she will have to get a job in order to pay for the gas that will go into Kristen and Shane’s car. We decided not to get car insurance because it seemed like an unnecessary expense. Any left over money we have we will spend on cheap second hand furniture or bring some from home. Zach and Tyler decided to split the cost of futon that cost 388.99. Tyler brought up getting a dog but he was shut down. Dogs are gross and expensive.
 
Over all it would be super hard to live on our own, but we could do it if we managed our money and all did our part in helping out. We decided to live in an apartment that pays for utilities so we could save money for more food, or clothes.
