Trying to prepare a budget, Franklin has done research and found that he spends an average of $290 on his phone/internet/cable service, $206 on his electric bill, and $101 on his health insurance premium. If he earns $1900 per month, estimate the amount of money he will have after paying these bills each month.

To estimate how much money Franklin will have left after paying his bills each month, we need to subtract the total expenses from his monthly income.

### Step 1: Calculate Total Monthly Expenses
Add up the expenses for phone/internet/cable, electric bill, and health insurance:

\[
\text{Total Expenses} = 290 + 206 + 101 = 597 \text{ dollars}
\]

### Step 2: Subtract Total Expenses from Monthly Income
Subtract the total expenses from Franklin's monthly income:

\[
\text{Remaining Money} = 1900 - 597 = 1303 \text{ dollars}
\]

### Final Answer
Franklin will have approximately **$1,303** left after paying his bills each month.
