The time has come to wrap up the second and, unfortunately, the last month of our "life" in the States.

Naturally, it's worth noting that we found a second job at a restaurant. It gave us not only tips but also free meals for one. While our diet consisted of healthy food before, in August we lived entirely on fast food.

So, our food expenses were: $140 per person.

Housing remained at the same price: $200.

But our salary and tips saw an increase:

Tips: $503

Salary: $2330

So, did you expect such an increase, or was it obvious?
