Answer 1

need to know ...how many family members and at what state ?..and city..ok...then I can give you some idea...because it varies from state to state ..and ofcourse ..### of household members.

Answer 2

There are ALOT of different factors involved here, but I can give you our example:

Monthly expenses for 2 adults and 3 children

Mortgage: $945

Water: $85

Electric: $250

Vehicle Insurance (2 cars): $185

Health Insurance: $400

Groceries: $450

Household cleaners/toiletries,etc.: $200

1 Vehicle payment: $432

Gas for 2 vehicles: $600

This does not include things like going out to eat, clothing, school supplies, piano lessons, etc.... When you add up everything, and it does vary each month, it comes close to around $4000. per month. But you of course can do it for much less, or much more. It just depends on the cost of items where you live, etc...
