Maryanne: Now you are making more money, I think we need to make a new budget
Vu: OK, let’s talk about income first. With the raise, my income will be $3,000 a month.

$1000 a month.
Vu: OK, that’s it for income. The rent for our new apartment is going to be $1350 a month. It’s a bigger place, so our utilities are going to go up. Maryanne: Yeah, I was thinking our gas bill will probably be around $40 a month and our electricity will be about $60 especially with that air conditioning.
Vu: That sounds about right. What about the phone, cable, and Internet? Maryanne: Well, if we use the same companies, they’ll be the same Vu: Is the phone bill really $65 a month?
Maryanne: Yes, it’s an average. It includes long—distance calls to your mom in Vietnam.
Vu: I see. How much do you spend on groceries each month? Maryanne: About $450. That shouldn’t change. Urn, what do we spend on the car?

Most people in our country live in urban areas. Urban areas are made up of cities and their surrounding suburbs. Urban areas have large populations and tall buildings. People live in many neighborhoods and work different kinds of jobs. The transportation system around these neighborhoods is well developed and very convenient. People get up very early to catch all kinds of transportation for work such as the subway and the bus. In addition, there is also carpooling, which is especially popular among young people. In a word, life in the urban area is both challenging and wonderful.
