Assumptions

NOTE: I Live in Southern New Jersey, as an 18-25 year old male who is living with two other people by renting an apartment and oftentimes pooling resources for living expenses. My assumptions reflect the most recent data I have come into contact with in this situation, though I will (whenever possible) explain how I came to that conclusion.
