Michelle has been invited to go to a three-day concert with her friends. The only catch is that it’s a 9-hour drive, and traveling for an entire weekend means she’ll need a certain amount of cash. She estimates that gas, food, tickets and camping will cost around $400. She has a car payment of $250 coming up and her $89 cell phone bill is due at the end of the month. She also needs to buy her mom a birthday gift, which she thinks will cost $50. She has $700 in savings. What are the needs?
