take it take Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'm doing personal budgeting for myself and I'm curious what other people's living expenses are per month. I'd like to know what you spend on and how much you're paying per month, like utility bills, gas, rent/mortgage, insurance, car payment, credit cards, and so on.

Nophix Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Rent $595 2 bedroom townhouse, attached garage, central air, blah blah... Gas for furnace/water heater- budget billing at $75 Electric- $80 Water- $45(but I have 2 kids and do a lot of laundry) Cable/Internet-$68(got a huge discount for a year, then its $110) Cells (our only phones)- $170, but that's also used for my business Car Insurance- $68 for 2 cars Netflix- $18 That's the basics. Credit cards will vary depending on you. We don't currently have car payments, but that may change if I buy my mom-in-law's Grand National. We also live in a rural area. Tomah WI.

Deveant Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Rent $540 - I live with 2 others, one sleeps in a study and pay a lil less Water / Elect $50-$60 Internet / Line Rental $59 - Its my own connection no one else helps pay for it Cell (only phone i use) $50 - $1000 - im on a $50 cap, which gives me $300 worth of calls, though i have been known to go a little over it ;) Car Insurance $300 per year Car Rego $560 Per year Credit Card $$$ - I dont tend to use it much unless i need to, or for Birthday giifts or extreamly large phone bills, though atm its all payed off. All the prices are on avg for the month, and prices being in AUS $, though being Xmas, the water and Elect bills will be cheaper (the 3 of us are spending time wif family), though the Cell and CC will probs increass :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
