It's a big house. And I think it's fun to have that many people in the same house. I'm never board, that's for sure.

Honestly, though.....If need be, I can live in the wilderness for free. It's a good thing to know how to do. If anything ever ended up happening in the US, I'd just go up into Canada in the Northwest.

Rent (living with 4 girls) + utilities/etc = ~400

Gas = ?? its different every month...depending on if i go home or what not. Like 80 if I stay in fargo, 200 if I go home.

Food = around 100 + eating out 4-5 times a month

So like 580-650.

I'm moving in August though.

Battle Creek, MI (Southwest Michigan)

-Mortgage-$480

-Utilites-$400

-Car-$280

-Insurance-$200

-Food-$400-500

-Cell-$115

So right about $2000/month. Have a Fiancee that lives with me and expecting one on the way.

We go out wayyyyy too much though, so it's hard for us to save unless we eliminate going out.

Subjectively? fuc k you you fa ggot go get a f ucking job and stop being a fu cking mooch pus syboy.
