  Okay, so now you're down to $32,309. Let's assume your boss has a good insurance plan and they only take out $20.00 per week from your check. Now you're down to $31,269.00. We won't get in to anymore deductions because many of those are voluntary, let's go with this.
 This equates to $601.33 a week or $2405. per month. With standard bills: groceries, rent/house payment, car payment, insurances, cell phones, internet, gas for the car, utilities......a $95 payment per month for 60 months is a lot to consider.
