Cost of Living in YOUR city.

[iDumb]

We have members here from all over the world. So I figure let's name your city and mention our monthly expense here. No need to mention income, obviously income would be less (for most, not for all) in places where cost of living is less and thus making you richer.

I will go first.

NYC: Per month (family of 2)
1 bedroom apartment: 1500
Credit Card bill/month: averaging ~2500/month (this includes all shopping, bills, grocery, gasoline, car insurance money, metro card)
Car payment: 400/month
Student Loans repayment: 750/month
Miscellaneous cash spending: 300/month (ie hair cut, street food, vending machine, lottery tickets)
helping out parents with their bills/rent: 1000/month

This is the expense of a guy who keeps everything bare minimum.
- no expensive restaurants
- no fancy kajer bua
- No smoke, drugs, alcohol.
- No vacation (got no money left).
- do not own house.

I just don't get how people survive here. Add a kid or two and it's no longer sustainable.

Man I probably will have all that I have now with 500 usd/month in BD.
