LivingI will live in Burlington, Vermont. I will be renting a room on Prospect St. It is fully furnished with a bed, desk, dresser, shelves, and refrigerator, and all utilities are included save for electricity. These utilities include garbage, gas, high speed internet, security, sewer, and water. It is near downtown and there is a bus stop within 5 minutes. There is also a deck and there is a walking trail nearby. It is $670.00 a month in rent and $149.00 for insurance.

TransportationGiven that I live near a bus stop, I chose to take public transportation to and fro. I will buy a monthly adult pass for $50.00 from CCTA. This will save me a lot of money as I will not have to pay for a car, insurance, or gas.

Bills• Garbage, gas, water, and internet are

included in my apartment so I do not need to pay for those.

• I will have a roughly $30.00 a month electricity bill.

• I will use AT&T to buy a $25.00 monthly plan for my cell phone. It includes 250 minutes, unlimited texting, and 50 MB of data.

• I do not watch television very often so it will be easy to live without cable.
