Question by Hollywood: How much $ do you have left over after bills (and how much do your bills cost you?)?
Hi there,
I was wondering if people could provide me with a bit of an idea of how much money they spend on their expenses each month and how much they have left over after there bills each month. I’m doing a study for one of my classes and I’d really appreciate as much input as possible. Here is what I’d like for you to include:
-Your age group (14-19, 20-28, 29-40, 41-50, 51+)
-Province or State you live in
-Monthly Income (just your’s, not you spouse’s/partner’s)
-What expenses you pay (rent/mortgage, electricity, groceries, etc)
-How much the expenses cost you on average each month
-What amount you have left over after paying all your expenses (please try to include any and all fixed and non-fixed expenses (the more information I have, the better), such as: rent/mortgage, parking, electricity, rental/house insurance, cable, internet, cellphone, home phone, car lease, car insurance, gas, public transportation, cleaning supplies, toiliteries, groceries, pet supplies, prescriptions, clothing, bank fees and anything else you can think of.)
I know this is a lot to ask, what it would be so helpful. The project is basically about how much the average person needs to budget to live and whether or not the majority of people live comfortably (have money left over, etc)
No amounts need to be dead on and you also don’t need to answer everything. The figured we’re really looking for are rent/mortgage amounts, electricity costs and groceries. Also the major thing is how much money you have left over after ALL expenses and bills. I’m just looking for a general idea from people, but like I mentioned, the more information you can give me, the better. If a question makes you feel uncomfortable or you don’t want to answer, that’s fine. Please remember that this is confidential and I will not be using any personal information for the project other than the questions I listed above (age group, province/state, etc). No names or user ID’s will be tracked, saved or used.
Thanks so much to everyone who participates
