  That's min requirement if they go through ROM.

   

  Avg should be $100 becos ROM is trying to make people go to places like "Love that binds your $ becos ROM is fully booked"

  Depends mostly on the furniture. U can just feel the emptiness of the purse when you start looking at the sizes of the TV.
