    What is your cost of living each day?

    My cost per living in a 30 day month is around $10 each day, and that is without including unexpected expenses.

    Car insurance/related bills - $125
    Gas - $100
    Taxes on income - $70


    This is actually low because I live with my father while going to college, so I have a break on rent, utilities, etc... What is your cost per living each day?

    That is double mine, good job :)

    Wasting money not included can account for much more! I know I go and blow money when I shouldn't on things that aren't .. . completely necessary :D

    100 - 200 a month for clothing... sometimes its more :eek: but not everymonth! Clothing :D!!!

    Whoa.. if I calculated how much I had to spend per day just to attend classes:

    (round tuition and books to 6k for 8 months...)

    Around $37.5 just for class per day! No wonder students are in debt haha

    Wow to have such a low COE would be awesome.

    I'm up to about $110 per day, which actually makes me want to cry.

    I do my cheap - I don't drive my car so I don't pay for insurance. Thou, I'm in the process of getting it really to drive. My kids want me to drive when I'm not in the right mind to drive so I had an accident. And I haven't drove it over a year. I pay electric, water and gas. Also the luxury items as phone, DSL and so forth. I give my daughter about 50 to 100$ per month because she lost her high paying job and took a low paying one and having hard time to make ends meet. I buy food for 2 adults and food bill for dogs run 45 to 80$ per month.

    Not, including what I spend on the internet net. That mostly 200$ per month.

    Anyway, you do the calculation?
