Default Care how much your paying?

Who cares what people know about you? I'm not special and neither is anyone else.

Some people make tiny money, some make enormous money. Some pay little bills, some pay big bills, but we're all people

Propane cost us about $80 a year to rent the tank and $700 for a full tank.
Electric $100 a month for 2400 sq/ft home
Water $50
Car Insurance $125 for 2 vehicles. One is 3 years old with full coverage, other with liability and is 20 years old.

Hope that helps!

I'll go ahead and put in my two cents. I am Fountain so it is slightly different. These are all monthly, except trash, and all estimates.
Black Hills Gas: $100
Fountain Utilities: $100
Trash (year): $120
Insurance for 3 vehicles, 3 ATVs, 1 travel trailer, and 1 camper: $300 monthly
Escrow account: $140 monthly

Uhhmmm... let's see.

Gas, water, sewage and electric are all on one bill. House has 5 people + animals, $220/month for all.
Car insurance was $180 for 6 months. (Liability and uninsured motorist only.)
Trash is $85 for 2 big cans for 3 months.

Your trash service is in line with what we paid back east in the DC area, about $91/qtr, back in 2005.

Here, our HOA of 94 homes get WMI service for $96/YEAR per home for one big tote bin, emptied weekly.

Recycling is included, but those who wish to use it must buy a second large tote bin for a one-time fee of $80. This tote bin has a yellow lid to distinguish it. The recycling program has been expanded to more things, and it ALL goes in the bin without being separated (known as "single stream" recycling).

I have no problem posting what I am paying out.

As I mentioned in the thread Mike linked to, I live in a 1600 sq ft home just me, on budget billing. My budget billing went from the $151 in that thread then down to $131 and this last September's revaluation is now at $139. For more information on Budget Billing: Budget Billing (http://www.csu.org/customer/payment/page3552.html - broken link) I recommend it to anyone that has lived in the same residence for a year or more and planning to stay there at least another year - no matter your income level. In most cases, you will see it even out in the summer when you aren't using natural gas as much unless you are a heavy AC user.

Anyhow, my last bill is as follows (10/23 - 11-24):

Electric: $39.30

Gas: $74.26

Water: $8.17 (they now separate water and waste water)

Wastewater: $15.52

This month is gonna bite though, despite my budget billing as it has been as low as -5° at the nearest weather station. OH brrrr. This is why I went with Budget Billing so I wouldn't be socked with a bill I could not afford.

EDIT: My car insurance is about $47 a month but keep in mind I drive a 93 Honda and since it's so old, I don't have full coverage.
