How much does it cost you to live?

Entertainment - $2000

You officially spend more on Entertainment each month than half of BHW spends on their entire life each month. Are you still able to put money into savings/investments each month?

Grand Total=$700
 
Age: 21.
Family: just me and my girlfriend
Country: Lithuania
----------------------
Food: 500USD
Rent: 0 cause I own the place
Bills: 100 during summers/300 during winters.
Cell: ~50 but I feel it should be much lower than that cause I have a contract with a BS company.
Internet: 30 bucks for a 100Mbps/sec. Yup, we have the fastest internet in the world. (EDITED: probably the fastest) :D
Gym: 65.
Entertainment: 400
Gas: 100
Penis enlargement pills: 99,99 (It should have cost 299 but I was lucky enough to get a limited offer) j/k :D
----------------------
So it`s roughly 1400USD. The past year was really depressive for me cause I was only spending money and not making anything. It is really tough to pay for your bills, food, your company`s bills, pay your workers - everything from your savings and then sleep tight at night. I am really happy that I am finally making some decent profits and I can support the lifestyle I want and put money to my savings...the bright side of that nightmare which lasted for a year is that I became wiser and a 'smart-buyer' - I buy food w/o any preservatives which makes you hungry all the time, I only buy quality stuff that I really need, etc.

This depresses me:( lol
i pay $60 a month for 384kbps connection with a 2gb cap. Its bullshit, the internet in south africa is pathetic.

Our fastest internet connection is 4mbps which is about $300 uncapped
 
Without going into the details but taking into account average bills, rent and living costs, $2000 per month.
