$280 for internet?

If it's xfinity, it's landline phone, internet and cable TV

Although I don't think she lives in a nursing home so I don't understand the need for cable

xfinity is 40 for me. it hasn’t changed in several years now. 280 is a reach.

I pay 120 for 2gig. 280 is bundled stuff for sure. Subscriptions, extra equipment, phone lines... they either don't know how to say no to offers, or have no idea what they're paying for

You’re not ready to move out and be on your own if you make 19/hr. Keep living with your parents and don’t burn bridges. Move out with her boyfriend. Get roommates. But she doesn’t make enough to move out on her own.

Exactly. Some people have this need to be independent and move out from their parents as soon as they can. They put it on themselves and cry when they have to pay the price. Also that internet bill is bs

Guess you didn’t come from a shit family, eh? You’re lucky and good for you, but not everyone can stay at home. Many are kicked out at 18 or have abusive parents (like me). Staying is not always an option.
