Probably between 1500 and 2000. Maybe a little more. Are we counting money that goes into rainy day savings? ---

I put \> 1000 because I’m normally between 500 - 800 extra cash at the end of the month. Depends if I break the yearly taxes down by month or just a few big chunks at the end of the year. ---

I voted greater than 1000 before I read it because it is \> 1000. Other than September and January when taxes are due it’s probably just shy of 2000, about 18-1900. The rent I collect pretty much pays the house expenses so its really just student loans, car payment, gas, and food. ---
