Re: How much do you spend on bills?
We rent our apartment in Princeton NJ (Sig. other is a grad stduent there). Monthly expenses--
Rent: $830/month for a 1 br apt (this area is more expensive than where we moved from).
Cell: $70/month for 2 cell phones (only phone)
Electric: $50-80/month
My Undergrad student Loans: $123/month
Car Payment: $262/month
Cable: $50/month
Car Insurance: Averages out to ~$175/month for 2 drivers + a 1998 car and a 2006 car (a little more than twice what it would have been in rochester...)
Groceries: $180/month
Luckily our Internet and Gas (our heat) and water are included in the rent.
I think that's everything. That ends up to be: $1750/month, or $21,000 per year.
This is not including probably $75 of gas per month between our two cars, my medical insurance through work is $90/month, and I probably have about $75/month (that's the minimums... but i've been paying more) in paying down credit card bills.
