<prompt> Human: my mother is a teacher of special ed kids. she is a single mother that makes 1000 every 2 weeks. The first check usually goes to rent which is 700 and car payment which is 300. The second check pays all the bills in the house gasfoodelectriccar insurancephone after that the second check leaves her with 10 spending month for anything else. Child support can not locate the where exactly my dad lives so we can not get the money from him each week. Im 18 and deliver food so im looking for a better part-time or full time job to help out with what i can buy any advise would be greatly appreciatedAssistant: Can you break down the 2nd set of expenses? Something there seems high.Human: the second check gets split into paying for gas, electric, car insurance, and whatever leftover money is there is put towards whatever food we can get that weekAssistant: I guess what I am saying is that 1k seems like a lot to spend on those things. Can you itemize those expenses so we can see if there is anything to cut back?Human: Sorry i was not clear on it priorVerizon is 190, PSEG is 155, Elizabeth town gas is 60, Nissan car payment is 300Discover card bill is 300Car insurance is 300 a month Rent is 700 a monthMonthly income is 2,000Whatever money left over goes to food for the house Assistant: The car insurance and Verizon bill are too high. Has mom shopped around for better deals? Why so high? Are you on the policy and phone plan? If so, how much are you contributing per month towards these bills? Human: i am on the phone bill and the car insurance but never contributed until now but my grandmother works for verizon wireless so we are on an employee planAssistant: Are you in school? Why are you not contributing?190 is insanely high for 2 people especially if you are supposed to be getting a discount. what kind of plan are you on?Human: oh im sorry i misinterpreted what she told me earlier, the 190 is for our cable internet and home phone from verizon FIOS not wireless. hope that clears somethings up. it was never a problem prior so i never had to contribute but now that i have to i am.  <response>: dump cable and home phone and use an antenna for the free over the air channels.
