Not a Poll, but it could have been. This would be for your main home that you reside in for tax purposes not any rental or vacation properties you may own. I thought it would be interesting to compare by home build year, home size and state.
I was calculating how much our home cost to run and how much increase there would be in 2023. I recon it will be 25% more this year. I will not know exactly till December as we have not had our Home insurance bill yet.
These would be Mandatory expenses that one has to live. does not include Medical, Vacations etc. Just what it cost to keep a roof over your head.
Here are what I came up with, some may have other expenses some may have less. Size of home and State may also be useful to know.
Built 2002 - 3,300sqft Home in Florida Coastal Location.
1) Mortgage, if one has one.
2) Rent if one rents their home
3) HOA if one has one
4) Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance if applicable
5) Electricity
6) Gas
7) Water
8) Internet (This is really a Mandatory Expense) Cable & TV however may not be.
9) Umbrella, Auto, Flood & Home Insurance
10) Pest Control
11) HVAC Maintenance Contract
12) Property Tax
13) General Home Maintenance; HVAC, Pool, Roof, Windows, Painting Ect.
I have attached our spreadsheet of what I track and the totals for 2022 are:
$24,378 for the year or $2031 per month.
