Question

If i wanted to live in my own flat or house what are the bills like water, power etc. Is it expensive to live on your own?How much does the power and water cost a month?

Answer 1

That ALL depends on where you live and what the cost of living is. Try reasking the question but this time give a general idea of where you're at.

But as a general rule, it can be pretty expensive living on your own, especially if you have a minimum wage job. Do you already have a car payment? Then you have to also consider gas, insurance and upkeep. I'm sure you probably have a cell phone, so there's a bill.

You need to look at home much you bring in, how much you pay in bills for non-house things, how much you spend on gas, etc, then see what you have left.

Where I live, to rent a house will run you at LEAST $800 a month, and that's if it's tiny or falling down. Electricity can be anywhere from $120 to $300, just depending. You also have to account for cable, internet.

I would do some research on the cost of living in your area, then make an estimated budget and compare it to your current income.

Answer 2

Apartments go for $500-$1000 for 1 bedroom depends on location. Power is about $50 a month average. Water should be free and cover by the rent. Gas might be about $17 a month depends on if the water heater uses gas. Cheaper to share a room with someone.
