Holy Crap! Is that ALL costs of living or JUST carrying costs of the house? To me, ALL costs include gasoline, car insurance, health insurance, groceries, dining, clothing, etc. CARRYING costs are just house expenses (lawn care, electricity, property taxes, pest control, homeowners insurance, water, sewer, etc.).
