Rent - $1,300
Cash taken out - Usually about 1-2k. This covers gas, insurance, food, drugs, shopping, etc.

So on average It's about 3k/month.
 


I saw this, but I couldn't figure out HOW the fuck it got bumped...

The last poster was doc785 on 8/19/09 when I looked at it an hour ago???

I was gonna dickroll the idiot for bumping this antique, then I was like WTF?

Polls get resurrected whenever someone votes. It is an attention whore's dream. Start a poll, and see your name in lights forever. I'm convinced half the OPs create fake accounts just to vote and bump their polls. It's the reason polls should be removed. At the very least, when someone starts a poll, they should be forced to justify it.

I look forward to the day when the "above the fold" is filled with polls asking how old we are, how many girls we've had sex with (BE HONEST!), and whether we use a Mac versus PC.
 
My health insurance alone for me, wife and kids is right at $1400 a month and we have no medical issues, this is just standard for a PPO with a copay/deduc from Anthem.

Besides that, I dont have too many other bills. House, cars, boats all paid for and no debt to my name. Other then taxes on property, cars/boats, gas, utilities, and groceries there is not much more ( on the personal side, not counting biz ). However this still comes up to about 3-4k a month.
 
$2,500 as the top option? surely you jest bros. i spend about that much in airfare and meals at the airport every month

(air canada is such a money-grabbing whore)
 
How the fuck do you people pay so little for everything! First page subigo says he pays $14 for car insurance! and then you bastards pay under $600 in rent? What country do you live in...

Car+Scooter Insurance: 250/mo
Phone: 90/mo
Internet+Tv: 135/mo
Health Insurance: 205/mo
Electric: 125/mo
Student Loans: 300/mo

I lol'd at the car insurance myself at $14, but something is up with that.

However, im sure most people can get away with under 600 rent because some of the area's where I live you can get away with $400 a month rent on a house, but its a shitty house.

I'm going to take a guess and say that, since he drives less than 3,000 miles in a year's time, he and his brother share a vehicle in addition to an apartment.

$14 per month insurance x 2 = $28 per month x 12 months = $336 a year. That's about normal for a car such as a Civic in the Midwest, depending on your insurance company. Especially if you only have liability on.
 
Guess I might as well join in:

Mortgage: 2100
Auto Insurance: 150
Health Insurance: 400
Phone: 20/mo
Internet+TV: 120/mo
Utilities (Electric, Gas, Trash): 400/mo
Gas for Vehicles: 300/month
Food: 1000/mo
I'm sure I'm missing some things..but those are the basics.

Who the hell is bumping a two year old thread? And why the hell was I subscribed to it?

My bills are pretty much the same, with a few changes.

$350/month rent (one bedroom condo on the lake. moving in a week. suck it.)
$30/month electric
$20/month cell phone
$17/month car insurance (older car with liability only. no tickets in 15 years.)
$20/month internet access
$200/month food

So I spend a bit more these days, but still under $650/month for everything. However, that doesn't include my business expenses, which is around $1,600/month.

Ok when you people are talking about the midwest here, where exactly does this mean? We talking Saint Louis? some sort of good sized city? or some tiny bullcrap town with only a walmart?

When I lived in Minneapolis my rent was still 1200/mo for a 1br/1b, same shit in Florida in St Petersburg, and Boca Raton. Ive never seen rent below 900/mo.

Springfield, MO. is what I was talking about before. 250k people and the third largest city in Missouri (Kansas City and St. Louis the other two).

I am moving to Lake Ozark next week though and I think there's only like 2k people there year round (which is why I'm moving).

$1,200/month in pretty much any part of Missouri is going to get you a 3,000 square foot house with 3-4 bedrooms (and built within the last 5 years).
 
im glad this thread came up, could you imagine asking your coworker or neighbor this type of questions, they would look at you like "fuck you" for being nosy and shit.

Me and my wife have been talking that maybe we spend too much in elec and phone and other things, but its nice to see how other people average in their lives too with bills. If you remove the outliers, you start to see an average pattern for what we spend on shit each month and there are a lot of commonalities.
 
You just raped the fuck out of my brain. How the shit?

If I pay $150 I feel like God personally powered half of my condo for a week.

I only pay electric and around here electric is cheap. Add that to a newly built condo that is built fairly well and that's my bill. My largest bill was $72 and that was last month, because I kept the heater on 24/7.
