[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]( 950) gas, electric, water, cable, cell phone

DP. I thought this might be a bit high too. Is this amount constant or high due to summer cooling bills?  Also, how much is “cable”?[/quote]

Are you kidding?  Mine is $1400 for all this.  She has 3 pre/teen kids that shower, have cell phones and exist.  More expensive than the baby phase[/quote]

Wut? I live in 2800 sf house with 2 teens who play sports and are constantly showering. 
Gas, electric, water, trash, internet, and cell phones come out to $600 per month. Cell phones are already paid for though.

You’re overpaying for something.

Have you priced different phone plans lately?

I’m paying 470/month for the same thing in the DMV.[/quote]

NP here.

So I keep track of my monthly expenses in a spreadsheet so these amounts are averaged over the last 12 months. I have like a 2,900 sq/ft house. It's a typical "split level". 4 finished levels. Family of 4 with two teenaged boys.
Washington Gas (hot water, heat): $80
Dominion Energy (AC, range, etc): $193
Republic Trash: $40 ($119/3 months)
Fairfax Water: $156
Verizon Fios and some Streaming Services (YouTube TV, HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Disney): $147
ATT Cell: $145 for 4 iphone 15s.

That's $761/month on average.[/quote]
