It's hard to say because everybody is sooo different, but...if it helps: Cable $153 triple play SCWA $74 every couple of months Nat Grid $261 changes a lot Lipa $391 changes a lot
Don't forget, are your property taxes in you mortgage or not? Homeowners Insurance? Landscaper? Pool maitenance?

Re: For those of you who own HOMES
Cable Phone Internet (these three are together, but they add up!) Cell phone Homeowner's Insurance (cheap) Condo or Homeowner's Association Fee Electric Gas Water
And some have trash bills.
These can vary WIDELY but I would estimate, to be safe, an additional $1000 per month for household bills (not including groceries, car payment, car insurance, credit cards, etc.). Extra can be for date nights!

Re: For those of you who own HOMES
Let see there are so many...
Cable water gas electric homeowners insurance
Those are the household bills...but we also have car insurance, car payment, cell phones, school loans. Oh and food and if you use credit cards there are those as well.
Our water, homeowners and gas is not monthly. It fluctuates alot. For example since we are new homeowners we did not get put on a payment plan for our gas the 1st year. So our gas was during the winter in the $600-$800 range every 1 1/2 months. But now in the summer it has decreased to less than $200. We also don't have oil so our gas is higher. But now our electric has gone up due to the pool and the AC.
