input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. Ron: Uh, could I borrow a few bucks until payday? I'm a little strapped for cash. Nancy: Uh, yeah, I guess, but I'm pinching pennies myself, and you still owe me $20 from last week. And mom and your friend Ron said you borrowed money from them this past week. [Oh, yeah.] How ARE things going anyway? Ron: Well, not very well. To be honest, I'm really in the hole, and I can't seem to make ends meet these days. Nancy: What do you mean? I thought you landed a great job recently, so you must be loaded. Ron: Well, I do have a job, but I've used my credit cards to pay off a lot of things recently, but now, I can't seem to pay the money off. Nancy: Uh, do you have a budget? I mean, how do you keep track of your income and expenses? Ron: Well, when my money runs out, I come to you. Of course. [Great!] No, but I guess I should have some financial plan. Nancy: Well, let me see if I can help you. How much money do you spend on your apartment? Ron: Uh, I pay $890 on rent for the studio apartment downtown ... not including utilities and cable TV. But the place has an awesome view of the city. Nancy: Uh, $890! Why are you paying through the nose for such a small place when you could find a cheaper one somewhere outside of the downtown area? Ron: Yeah, I guess. Nancy: Okay. How much money do you spend on food a month? Ron: Hmmm. I'm not really sure. I think I spend around $600. [$600?!] Well, I go out to eat at least four times a week, so those expenses add up. I just don't enjoy eating alone, and I don't have a knack for cooking like you do. Nancy: Well, I can understand that, but perhaps you ought to buy some microwaveable meals you could prepare at home. Ron: Well, I guess I could. Nancy: And entertainment? Ron: Well, I spend a few dollars here and there on basketball and movie tickets, a concert or two, and ballroom dance lessons. Nancy: Uh, exactly how much do you spend on all of these? Just a "few" dollars? Ron: Well, oh ... about $400 or so. Nancy: Or so? No wonder you're having money problems. You... What would the listener say?
