[QUOTE="LightningCrash, post: 2752111, member: 4278"] It's interesting. I just wonder how it would run down. When I lived by myself in BFE, one month was broken down like this: [code] Rent 330 Electric 75 Fuel 100 Car Insurance 50 Phone 80 Internet 50 Renters Insurance 32 Food/Grocery Store 300 Oil Change 20[/code] Of course I lived a mile from work and that budget was before I had any fun money. If it wasn't an oil change it was some other car maintenance, or something else such as a haircut. I didn't have health insurance, vision ins, dental, or a car payment and that was 15 years ago. I had a full set of reasonably good home furnishings given to me, or that would have been another 100-200 a month too. I spent $1000 just filling in the gaps on stuff I needed. CPI for inflation says everything is about 37% more expensive now. [/QUOTE]
