Why it's built this way
The notes match the numbers above.
- 1Me interesa works like gustar: the thing on offer is the subject, you are the indirect object. Verbs like gustar II: doler, parecer, quedar, importar, molestar, faltar →
- 2Presupuesto = budget: here the most you can spend.
- 3No pasar de + amount = not to go above: it sets your limit without sounding rude.
