expenses

Discovered that my cable TV is $5 per month (with CNN, ESPN, HBO etc) and my garbage collection fee is $1 per month - no such thing as trash/garbage bins here - you simply bag the garbage and toss the bag on the heap at the end of the alley or in the street - the truck comes every night and picks it all up - a horde of speculators follows the truck splitting open the bags when they can and grabbing stuff that can be recycled for money (plastic aluminum etc). Power is expected to be about $30 per month and water about $5.

  1. LOL - here cable is 200 (with internet), garbage is 30 and you have to separate the recyclables yourself, power is 120 plus another 200 in the winter for propane, water is 25 (what we contribute for the community well). Your utility burn rate is $41, mine is $575. Hummmm How many oil and balls massages could I have in a month on the difference? 10? Hummmm
