Izzy just got a new job and he wants to move from his family home and get his own apartment. He will be bringing home $700.00 per week, with the potential to make up to $200.00/per week overtime. He will need to find an apartment that allows pets, as he has a dog (Izzy J) and a cat (Jingles). There are no affordable apartments near his family home so he will have to move farther out from the city (D.C.) where there is bus or train transportation to his job.
It will take him 1 hour 15 minutes to get to work by bus. If he had a car, he could get to work in 45 min.
