When I had a condo (1000 square feet, two bedroom, 1.5 baths,) the maintenance was 238.00; the mortgage was 310.00; my home phone (yes I have one) is 35.00 (at&t); cell 39.00 for 350 minutes (sprint); summer electric 300.00; my car was 23,000.00 (car getting long in the tooth, so bus a couple times a week to save it 5.00); trip to Kroger twice a week cost 45.00 each time; gym membership 30.00 (used to be at the central YMCA at 60.00 a month, it was the best gym I ever was a member of.)
