CharTalk:
So you at least have a sort of ball park figure:
I live with The Cat in a Gardenia. Since The Cat doesn't use much in the way of utilities, these figures may give you a clue as to how a widower operates!
Electric $1,585 per year or about $211 per month
Gas $942 per year or about $79 per month
Water $870 per year or about $73 per month
Note, of course, that there's no such thing as an average month in any of these. Neither electric nor gas offer a flat monthly charge, that I used to pay "up north," so your budgeting should keep that in mind, as well.
