Sarah earns $2000 each month and spends a total of $1870 over a month on:
rent $850 food $380
clothes $320 mobile phone $50
entertainment $150 transport $120
She has a surplus of $130 per month but would like her surplus to increase to $250 per month. How could she reduce her expenses. Explain why.
Rent, food, transport and phone are often set. Everyone needs to pay for shelter and eat to survive Phone and transport are essential to for work, not only to get there but for communication.
