I am trying to create a monthly budget so I would like an estimate of how much everybody spends on a monthly basis.
How much do you spend on Rent/House Payment, Utilities, Food/Groceries, Entertainment/Gifts, Wardobe/Makeup, Savings/Future Planning, Healthcare/Insurance etc.
I’d like to try to strike somewhere in the middle of the american average. So I would appreciate your honesty and candor. Thanks so much!

Ugh.
I live pretty basic…I think.

I regret to say that I save anything. I get paid weekly and feel like I’m living week to week.
House-$975 month
Elec-$200 month
Water-$50 month
Food-150 a week
Insurance-217 a month
On gas, groceries, bills (car, insurance, utilities etc) I spend close to $2,000 a month. Include rent as well.
