Inspired by monthly cell-phone bill thread, so what's your monthly expenses (including everything, mortgage, child support, parents support (if you're supporting your folks), student loan, etc)

Mortgage: $1850
Condo maintenance: $450
Support for Parents: $650
Electricity: $50
Transportation: $150
Insurances: $250
Food, entertainment, shopping, etc: $1200-$1500

roughly: $4600-$4900 per month
 
Car: $60
Gas: $60
Cell: $22

Total: $142

Add 100-200$ in superfluous expenses, so around $300

You forgot the people who are supported by their folks
 
Rent: $242
Electricity: ~$60
Water: ~$12
Cable/Internet: ~$40
Groceries/Food/Necessities: ~$150
Entertainment: ~$100

Total: About $600. I'm still on my parents insurance plan and they pay for my cell phone (family plan).
 
My biggest one is child care. I spend 1600 a month for a nanny and 250 dollars a month for preschool.


That's double what my house payment is. :lol

:lol I noticed too.

I have:

£750 bank loans
£250 board
£40-50 petrol
£35 phone bill
£15 internet

total $1700. I will be clearing the loans in the next month.
 
Mortgage: ~$1100
Utilities (Gas & Electric): roughly $150
Transportation: $150
Insurances: About $100 monthly

Budget tracker is telling me I spend about $2000-$2500 a month. Maybe a bit less than that.
 
No chance. If I actually listed the things I spent my money on I'd end up weeping in a corner wondering why I'm such a dickhead.
 
approximately 450 euro per month for living including rent/bills and food.

Also, OP, you could be a seriously rich man if you lived smarter..... unless you are just stupid rich now and that's a drop in the ocean of money you swim in. 5000 a month is crazy expensive.
 
Moving next month and getting a roomate, cheaper! New expenses

Rent: $550
Car: $150
Insurance: $125
TV/Internet: $65
Cell: $80
Utils: $90
Gas: $80
Food: $125

=$1265

Entertainment eats some more but varies.

Let's not exaggerate here. A 18 year old working ten hours a week at a local grocery probably clears that much in A YEAR.

Yeah.

Just the thought of a rough estimate of my monthly booze/bar expenses......man.
 
$600 Rent - 1BR apartment
$40 Electricity
$200 Car payment
$88.50 Car Insurance + Renter's Insurance
$120 Cable TV + Internet
$42 Cell Phone
$100 Credit card payments
$100 Gas
$150 Food

About 1440 i think?
 
House mortgage: $600
Land mortgage: $500
Utilities: $100
Groceries/Food: $150
Gasoline: $50
Car payment: $500
Student Loan: $200

So let's round-up to about $2200. The Jeep will be paid-off in two years, the land will be going up for sale within a month, and we're beginning the long search for a new house. So cost of living should drop by about $1000/month in the coming two years, enabling me to kill my last student loan a bit more quickly.

Bolded the only part of that I find really questionable. What exactly is all included in that 'etc.' 'cause that's a lot of cash.

Mortgage (includes property taxes and insurance): $1080

Car payment (19 of these left): $245

Comcast Cable internet: $55

Cell phone: $55

Food: $300

Girlfriend support: $200

Miscellaneous: $200

__________________________________________________________

Grand Total: $2,415


This number makes me sad. I used to spend a lot less on things...
 
For people posting up rent could you say how big your place is?

Paying $778 a month (heat and water included, but not electricity) for a 1b1b in Madison. Pretty sure I am being bent over pretty hard.

Some odd answers in here. $250 a month for electricity? $600 house mortgage?

What I can think of:

Rent: $778
Electricity: $65-80
Cable/Internet: $75
Parking: $35
Car Insurance:$75
Cell:$40
Food: $400-500
Cigarettes: don't even want to think about it. Need to quit asap

end result: Need a better fucking job.

Not an apartment, but my house is 1,650 square feet. Houses are cheap here. I really need to get my mortgage rate lowered though. I feel like a simp for not doing it yet.
 
The wife and I spend about $3000 +- 100-200 a month. We live in the Vancouver area though, which is pretty darn expensive though.

Probably could cut back on a bit of spending still.

This. When I was 16 (11 years ago), I grossed about $16k (in a year) working 32 hours a week at the local grocery store.

Not sure how you're not making at least $4,600 a year... unless you're not even trying.
