Not sure of exact amounts for the US as I live in UK, but over here I spend around about the following amounts. Boyfriend and I split the household bills for the most part but i usually end up paying for the shopping and my menageries of pets
Shopping/groceries per month £100 - £150
Petrol £80 per month (luckily i hardly have to drive anywhere & run a cheap car)
Gas (Most people have mains central heating but as we live in the country we have a gas tank which is fucking expensive) £90 - £150 per month during winter
Water £100 per month
Electric £35 per month
council tax (not sure if you have this?) £48
Internet & Landline phone £15
Mobile phone £20
TV Licence £12
Car insurance £30
Pet insurance £45
Rent £465 (this is super low for the UK, average is probably around £650 - £1000) Obviously you'll pay less if you're only living in a room in a shared house for e.g.
You'll also need to account for extras like pet costs, hobbies, classes, and money towards car maintenance, paying off debts, featuring your profile/ promoting your cam persona, and saving for your future etc. I think you guys also need to have health insurance?
I usually budget around £1,500 to cover all the above. You can of course get by on much less if you shop around for food/ meal plan, share an apartment with someone else, don't keep pets, look for bargains etc.
I think that's like $2,390 in your money.
