<prompt> Human: After almost 6 months of job hunting, I was offered a full-time entry-level job for a corporate office. Its around 23 miles from my home to there and gas prices are around 3.80, give or take I live in Southern California.I do not have a credit card, only a debit card. I graduated in May 2013 and this will be my 2nd job.So far my money will go toward the necessities per month: 475 for rent I live with my fiance 91 for car insurance 61 for unsubsidized student loans Around 200 for gas Around 100 for food splitting with my fiance 100 for entertainment Phone bill is already being covered by another family member because she gets a deep discount Total: 1027 per monthMy salary will be 12.50hour so around 26k and 2166 monthly ?Food and entertainment will be split with my fiance but rent, insurance, and student loans are definitely mine. I want to save as much money as I possibly can and place around 1000 into my savings per month.Is this a good budget list or should I be able to save more money? Im planning not to go out as much except maybe twice a month.  <response>: Keep in mind you wont be getting that 2166 a month. More realistically you will get to keep 1600 a month after taxes. Maybe a bit more depending on how you set your witholdings. Just make sure they arent too little and you end up owing a lot plus fees.
