Budget Summary My perception of quality of life changed dramatically during this project. Living at a low income wage was a difficult thing to do especially at $26‚560 a year.

After doing this assignment I realized some of the reason that low-income families do what they do. It is very hard for a family to live off of a minimum wage salary; it doesn’t matter if it is a single parent or a two-parent household. The more people are in a household‚ the more expenses there will be‚ I never really thought about that concept until doing this assignment.
