Re: costs
While it is nice to read everyone's estimate of costs...
It looks like the only real difference between a TV budget and one from up north would be the amenities fee and maybe the bug fee.
We all have cable (or Satellite) but some spend $20 and some spend $200 after you add in internet, VOIP and other premium stations.
We all have electric and maybe gas but doesn't that really depend on how much you use? What is your lifestyle - some like it cold inside some like it warmer - some leave lights and TV's on, others make sure they turn them off.
We all have taxes, house ins. (and maybe a bond). It really depends on what size home you bought. My taxes with ins. here in MA are between $500-600 a month. Yours may be more or less depending on where you live and what the home is valued at.
The bottom line is that every prospective buyer has to analyze the costs for themselves then determine what size home and location they can afford.
And let's not forget the most important expense: GOLF :joke: If I spend less than $500 per month on golf and other recreaction I'd be overjoyed. And that doesn't include the 19th hole.
