Answer 3

My daughter and I live with my boyfriend. He treats us nice and we go a little spend happy around him :) But heres about what we spend per month:

$80 - $120 to eat out

$160 for car gas

$375 for rent

$100 for electricity

$25 for gas

$50 for cable

Extra stuff (if you would call it that) includes:

$375 for student loans

$25 for webhosting space (for my home biz)

$115 for car insurance

$250 - $350 on food, shampoo, toothpaste, etc...

$200 - $375 on daycare ($75 in summer, $50 in school year - paid every Friday)

.........................

And that takes more than I earn, so we would obviously have to cut back on eating out and negotiate lower student loan payments if I didn't live with my boyfriend.

To answer your other question:

I drive 18 miles on an average weekday (to and from work and daycare) plus I sometimes go home for lunch and we have to go to the next town for our weekly walmart trip. And once a month or so we go further. (takes almost an hour to get to the closest town that has stuff like a mall) ... It costs me $50 something to fill up if I let my car get down to empty.

I love financial questions! May I ask why you ask and what you spend?

Answer 4

Probably $20 per month for eating out - I try to avoid it unless it's necessary.

Nothing on gas, but about $20 a month on bus fare to and from work.

Then, probably about $100-$150 a month for food.

$15 a month for the cable and internet bill (split with my roommates)

$400 a month for rent for me

That's pretty much all, and except for the cable and internet bill, it's all just for me.
