Living expenses

[blue]

For all the people living on there own or with one other person, could you sum up your living expenses to kind of give me an example. The only thing i dont want included in the price tag is car payment, and the rent fee, also can you say weather or not its just you or you and someone else. Thanks for your help. Feel free even to just post one of your expenses, if thats all you want to share or all that you can think of, again thanks alot.

water 25-100+ (higher in summer for lawn)

food ~300 (just groceries for my wife and I)

as others metnioned, no entertainment, insurance (car, mortgage/renters, life), mortgage, savings/investments, misc. other shit I can't seem to think of right now

[maz087]

how do you guys pay for trash?

[Richard T]

Waste Management sends me a bill quarterly, if that's what you're asking.

[LeonZ]

I live in Denver - trash is free. muahahahahha

[-=[Juztin]=-]

trash is included in water bill for me

[smithz]

home phone: $45
cell phones: $90
gas & electric: $140
HOA: $225
Internet: $50

[STIBungy]

Yours is is probably lumped into your monthly HOA.

I live in Denver - trash is free. muahahahahha

[Steve_C]

holy shit, 225 monthly hoa?

[smithz]

Yeah hoas in this area are fucking expensive... we have to pay for the parks and ponds and pool and tennis courts... etc. Plus it pays for water, trash, snow and when the houses need paint or roofs or whatever...

[STIBungy]

That's a townhome, right?

[Steve_C]

well when you put it that way, that doesn't sound as bad

[smithz]

That's a townhome, right?
Yessir

[STIBungy]

Yay, thanks for reminding me not to buy a townhome. Heehee.

Yessir

[smithz]

I thought you were in a townhome?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm a dipshit. I remember you are in a house now...

me ---> ;NutKick; <--- me

[Dave_L]

I think my next house will be a townhome. It'd be nice not to worry about shoveling, mowing, maitenence etc. Plus the insurance is a lot cheaper on a town home. I think when all said and done its probably close to the same price for a townhome and a home. Just depends on what you want.

[monicle]

me and wife

hoa and association fees -$135
phone and dsl -$65
cell phones -$80
public service -$90 (average)
all insurance -$220

those are the regular ones

[Steve_C]

[sbiggi]

$120 utilities
$55 dish
$35 trash(for 3 months service)
$50 phone
food... at least $60 a week... so $240 (probably spend more then that)

[STIBungy]

That's such a n00b question. :D

how come your paying for dsl, and aol?

[jdm95integra]

[Steve_C]

just call up aol and tell them you want to cancel cause you found a cheaper isp. they'll give you a few months for free
