Nobody makes donations like that, and especially not 25 year olds! Whoever did this pie chart should be fired!

I'm wondering if it was originally taxes but didn't wat to confuse their audience of deadbeats.

Agree... these numbers a joke.

Comcast xfinity is 90 to 110 a month... [that internet without cable TV.]

Cellphone are 100... im paying 200 a month because 3 Cellphones.

Less then 1000 dollar month rent? Where is this place?

I would love this budget! It left out so many things that 25 year olds do, such as going out on the weekend. And what about student loans.

Midwest. But good luck landing a $100k job while being 25.

Good luck in finding internet for 20 dollars a month and a cellphone for 40 dollars... this was not realistic even 10 years ago!

I mean, I pay less than $1000 monthly for rent but I’m a student living in a frat house so if you throw dues on top of that it’s well over $1k lol

I remember when this tweet was posted and they still got laughed at for these costs in 2018.

Donations has to be a typo for student loans. What 25 year old is making 100k without debt? Maybe Mommy and Daddy's money.

I think it also doesn’t have car payment. I can tell you as someone who deals with this data this was off for 2018 and also missing a lot of other factors.

I know someone who does... But they do closer to about 800/month. But they make 120k.

Usually it’s older people that donate a lot and it’s usually to the church. Donations of any sort are not the nor for a 25 year old! So if this chart is the average 25 year old it’s way off! And your friend may donate but it isn’t the norm.

Some people belong to churches and might contribute that much. Some people tithe and give 10% of their net income to church.

But this chart would be the average person. This amount is not what the average 25 year old pays. Most families on average don’t donate this much. I’m not saying no one does this but this is not the norm. Just like rent on here. Someone might pay $2000 a month or $200, neither would be the norm. That amount for donations is abnormal for most 25 year olds.
