Income $2000
Basic necessities $800
Affordable rent $700 - $1000

For those that weren't allowed to drive for a period of time after your brain injuries.
So I got my license back after nearly 2 years. I have 2 cars, 1 manual and 1 automatic.
The automatic one I can drive with no problems at all but I'm really struggling getting back into driving the manual one!!
