unfortunately I probably won't be able to afford a steamdeck

I owe 60$ a month for the service(720$ a year, 1440$ for two years)

then I owe 15$ each test

then I owe court costs(I have no idea what the price is i'll have to ask tomorrow)

my lawyer told me I'll probably get 120 hours and it's pretty difficult to fit all 120 in a 2 year period

doing some simple math

3.5 hours each time

10 times 35

20 times 70

40 times 140

so roughly 35 times for 120

if I go 3 times a week wednesday thursday friday

that's 10.5 a week

it means 120/10.5=11.4 -> 11.5 -> 12

that's 12 weeks with 52 weeks in a year it seems so easy

12 weeks 3 times a week 3.5 hours each time

(3.5*3)12 = 126

so 3 days a week, 12 weeks to accomplish 126 hours

that's 4 weeks a month 12/4=x 3 months

feels too easy, I bet it ends up being more than 120 we'll see

okay 3 months is 4 weeks a month 3 days a week

3 months is 4 8 12

if I get 120 it's so easy

really community service is pretty easy as long as you're willing to work

some days easier than others

don't want to get too far ahead of myself

but right now at 120 i'm looking at 3 days a week for 3 months(12 weeks)

if it's say 300 hours it's going to be a little more than 3 days a week for 6 months(24 weeks)

----------

60$ a month required

870+400 = 1270

1270-600-30-45 = 595

250 debt

next paycheck 595-250 = 345 but most months 595

usually this 595 goes to food drinks and smokes

i'll have to keep buying food drinks and smokes but be more responsible

hot dogs, bread, water flavoring no soda/mexican cokes, I smoke cheap cigs so that's not going to change

60*24 = 1440

595*x=1140  x=2.4

so we're looking at 3 months to finish community service and 3 months to pay all 1440

then from that point I have to pay for the tests the court cost

but once i'm done with community service and the service cost

all I have to do is show up once a month and do home visits

that's it

the quicker I get community service and paid off

the quicker I get to just showing up doing a test here and there

and it's easy after that

no smoking no drinking

very happy to know I can get all the hard stuff done in 3 months

then it's just staying clean and showing up
