. Not sure what your eating , $2000 for 5 months of food...
I would add a 25% on top of all that easy, the numbers you have quoted are minimums
Aye, he is not too far off.
When I was in flight school in the US a few short years ago, we had a food allowance of $35 per week, paid every Friday.
$30 went straight to beer and dancing girls that same Friday and the remaining $5 was used for bags of pancake mix for the next 6 days.
(Pancake mix, for you foreigners: A bag of powder one can mix with water, then pour in a frying pan to make a large number of pancakes. A bag can last for 5-6 days if you are 20 years old)
Needless to say, we were all skinny and enjoyed life with flying, beer and pancake mix.
