Default Cost of Living Comparison
It's budget crunch time, so I'm wondering what the monthly typical bills are in North Port. Specifically:

Electric (on average and if it includes a pool)
Cable
Phone
Internet
Homeowner's Insurance
Car Insurance
Water, if any

Thanks!

Car Ins: $135 a month..100/300k...wow!
We pay $259 and change a month with Allstate for one older and one newer vehicle. We have the 100/300k also..
If don't mind me asking, who is your provider? Because I want to switch!

Thanks!
Electric (on average and if it includes a pool): $190 without pool. 2127 sq ft built in 2003.
Cable: DirectTv and I think it runs around $55 per month but we have HBO and three extra hook ups for the kids rooms and ours.
Phone: Comcast--$100 per month and it includes our home phone.
Internet: See Phone
Homeowner's Insurance: $737 per year through Olympus Insurance with the wind storm mitigation
Car Insurance: $160 per month through Allstate but I have to carry high insurance because I use my car for work. I also have a 16 year old and that jacks it up quite a bit.
Water, if any: well water with is typical in North Port. $35 per month for the guy to come out and put salt in the well. This can be done yourself to save the cost. Once every six months he "scrubs" the tank our and changes the filters and it costs $100.

How much does a heated pool jack up an electric bill? Does anyone know what sewer, and trash bills are?

I don't have a pool but I do know that it doesn't just jack up your electric bill it will also increase your homeowners insurance. We don't have sewer we have septic. And trash is tied into your property taxes every year.
