Julia is currently paying $196 per month to her orthodontist for her braces. If Julia's groceries cost $66 per week and she estimates her other expenses to be $204 per month, how much will she have left each month to put toward savings to reach her financial goals?

The amount left for Julia to save after all expenses have deducted from her take-home(disposable income) is $317 as shown below.

Car payment                           ($277)

Orthodontist payment            ($196)

Groceries($66*4 weeks)         ($264)

Other expenses                       ($204)

Savings                                     $317

$317

=$317
