The cost will vary some by the type and size of home. For a rough estimate, take your total mortgage amount which will include PITI and bond, add $1000 for all utilities, premier golf, lawn, shrubs, pests, and every other expensive needed to open the front door and live there. Add food medical cloths vacations and entertainment and you will be close.
Depending on your life style you can live fine on a budget of 45K to 75K depending on the size of your mortgage. If you like nice vacations, eating out a lot, nice home, extras, move that to 70K to 100K
