After coming across this thread (http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/blackhat-lounge/388967-list-all-bills-you-pay-monthly.html) I have decided to bump a 4 month old thread. Just read through the whole thread, and some pretty neat numbers.
Age: 19
Size of Family: 4
Country(Province/State Optional): California, USA
Monthly Expenses:
Rent - $0 (live with my parents)
Internet/Cable - $0 (parents)
Cell Phone - $0 (parents)
Food & Grocery - $100 (this is the money I spend at restaurants/fast food)
Entertainment - $150
Total: $250 (most of which is from my parents)
I try to keep my expenses low. I go to community college now, which is pretty cheap, but I'll be transfering to a very expensive university by next Fall. I don't make a ton from IM, and just about everything I make gets reinvested. For example, let's say one month I make $500. I'd reinvest $400 of it or so. I see no point in saving $500. It's not a lot of money. But it CAN help me make a lot of money, by investing.
Anyways, I'm lucky that my parents are quite supportive. I hope to be independent from IM monies in the next year. That's my goal.

I didn't want to crunch these numbers... but here we go.
(By the way, my sole income is from I.M. alone. So don't give up guys!)
Family Size: 2
Country: USA
Rent: $1,000
Electricity: $125
Water: $40
Car: Owned
Car Insurance: $90
Cell: $90
Cable: $105
Food: (this varies, but I'd say around $1500 a month...)
Credit Card Bills: $100
Total: $3,095 a month to live.
Naturally, I could spend less on food. Also, my entertainment budget is rather high too, but I have no way to calculate that.
I'd say I spend $3,000 to $5,000 every month. But so far I've managed to still bank $5k - $10k in profit even after doing so.
Cheers,
Steve

Hey what can you say? if you have money then why not having a 18yer old under your wing? Also it's not too late to spread your seed to botanical garden of love if you have harem of 18-20yr old babes.
