@george-k said in The "How much do you pay?" thread:
In the house, electricity ran about $2200 a year, in the condo, it's about the same (Mrs. George likes it cool).
But I guess you get at least two or three times the amount of electricity than what I get for the same amount. These days we pay something like 32 cents per kilowatt hour.

Gas and Electric - $300-$600
Internet - $100 200 MBPS
Water $10.41666666666667 *
Sewer- $50 flat rate.- I amortized the new well pump and pressure tank over 20+ years and count that toward the water bill. I suppose I should add in some electricity to that equation.

Various expenditures fluctuate from month to month, so I just average annual expenditures over 12 months and give you average monthly expenditures:
- Garbage collection : included in taxes
- Gas + Electricity : $200
- Water + Sewer : $125
- Internet access : $40
- TV : maybe $10
(I no longer keep any cable TV subscription, this is just accounting for Amazon Prime subscription; though to be honest I got that subscription for Prime Shipping rather than for Prime Video. Also got a free year of Disney+ that, if I had to pay, might come up to $8 a month; not sure if I will keep it after the “free year” is up.)
As befits his generation, @89th did not ask how much we pay for telephone service for the house.

Thanks all! Looks like my costs will be similar to most of you...
We also pay $60 a month for a home warranty in case any appliances break down.
Check the details on that home warranty and look for their outs. Like if you did not maintain every single thing in the manner they prescribe.
