I am currently working on a budget and have discovered that my basic expenses are kinda crazy.
These are annual #'s.
Cell phones: $3,060 (3 smartphones, one dumb phone)
Satellite: $1,344
Internet/phone: $924 (We are kind of stuck with our internet provider and the phone is included)
Electric: $2,099
LP: $1,400
Garbage: $264
Rural Water: $676
Total: $9,768 ***Edited as I found a mistake in my spreadsheet
That's not including home or auto insurance, life insurance, taxes, mortgage, cabin payment, food, entertainment, health insurance (through wifes work) etc.
The kids are Sophomore and Freshman in college so hopefully, the electric and LP go down! The water will go down slightly.
I'm sure one of the first question will be location....We live in the upper mid west. In a small subdivision outside of a small town. Our house is only 10 years old but it is fairly large so that does help explain how high the electric and LP is. (just over 5,000 sq ft counting main floor and basement.)
what are other peoples expenses?
