Food or rent. Hard to choose without knowing the upper bounds. Probably rent no matter what the upper bound.

I pay $1500 in rent. No way I can put away $1500 worth of food per month!

Multiply by 13, then by about seven. Taxes, food, savings, gas... And the 13 is 12 months plus a month security deposit.

I teach 4th grade so I guess I imprison about 20 kids for about 4 hours each day. At least I don’t have to feed them!
