I don't think she's factoring in rent, utilities and the like because this is her SHORT-TERM list. This is her figuring out how much she needs to make NOW, until such time as she can get either permanent alimony from our divorce, or temporary alimony in advance of our divorce if she can win such a case.
Her mind has not even yet begun to wrap around the day-to-day financial realities of living on her own. She is merely starting to make the transition in her mind from living at home with daddy supporting her, to living at home with hubby supporting her, to living at home with ex-hubby supporting her via alimony and child support.
