    I call bullshit even on that.

    Then we moved to Philadelphia, where we paid $1,125 for a two-bedroom apartment in another nice neighborhood.

    I lived in Philadelphia around that time, and there was nowhere that you could rent a two bedroom for less than $1,600.

    I wouldn’t trust any of those numbers, and even if you could, it still didn’t account for groceries. The budget didn’t include FOOD. Did they expect employees to steal hand soap and toilet paper from their reataurants? Mustard for toothpaste?
