Find the total amount Ryan would spend in two years

To calculate the total amount Ryan would spend in two years, we'll break down each expense and find the total for two years.

### Monthly Expenses
1. **Rent**: $1,400 per month  
   Total for 2 years = $ 1,400 \times 12 \times 2 = 33,600 $  

2. **Gym Membership**:
   - Annual fee: $300  
   - Monthly fee: $25  
   Total for 2 years:  
   $ 300 \times 2 = 600 $ (Annual fee)  
   $ 25 \times 12 \times 2 = 600 $ (Monthly fee)  
   Gym total = $ 600 + 600 = 1,200 $

3. **Renters' Insurance**: $85 every 6 months  
   Total for 2 years = $ \frac{2 \times 12}{6} \times 85 = 4 \times 85 = 340 $

4. **Groceries**: $315 per month  
   Total for 2 years = $ 315 \times 12 \times 2 = 7,560 $

### Weekly Expenses
5. **Eating out & Entertaining**: $150 per week  
   Total for 2 years = $ 150 \times 52 \times 2 = 15,600 $

### Total Expenses for 2 Years
Now, summing up all expenses:
\[
33,600 \, (\text{Rent}) + 1,200 \, (\text{Gym}) + 340 \, (\text{Insurance}) + 7,560 \, (\text{Groceries}) + 15,600 \, (\text{Eating out}) = 58,300
\]

So, Ryan would spend **$58,300** in two years.
