    Saw in the comments when this was posted on Reddit that this example is taken from someone who lives in NYC and shares an apartment with 3 roommates. Have no idea whether that's true, but with that context the budget actually does make sense.

    It squares rent (assuming an even split 4 ways total rent would be $3,300 total), Cleaning, and Internet.

    Transportation also makes sense ($130 is cost of monthly unlimited metro card), and Groceries/Dining out are pretty typical for NYC.

    I'm willing to bet that Donations is actually his alcohol and drugs budget tbh.

    Or, if we go the "they really fudged this to make it palatable but in a way that is nefarious" route, it's a combo of his CC and Student Loan payments.
