Try to get that down to $500 per month. Compound interest, my friend.

Looking at my Mint acct, I think it may be a bit hard to get it all the way down to $500. Could probably get it down to about $700.

Gas averages $150/month, Grocery about $300/month, the rest is fun money which is where I would cut. I'd say about $100/week would seem reasonable to cut down to. Dates and whatnot. That's $750 without really tightening too much.
