Find an apt or house on line, like on craigslist. Call the utility company with address and the will tell you the average bill for that address. Get other info like food costs, etc from Internet resources and add it up.

About 2K per month. That is what the lowest paid people I know are paid but they either own a home from years ago or live with someone else for cheap or free rent.
If you don't keep a car and can walk to work and shopping you may live on less. If you don't have life insurance or other fixed cost and are willing to in cheap food have several roommates and no expensive hobbies you might live on much less.
Rent a room in someone's home on Craig's list, pay no utilities, take a bus to work and shopping and don't save for a house down payment, retirement or college and you can get by on less. But that only last until you want to own a home, marry, have children or plan to ever retire.

Are you living house all day and choose the heating / lights on etc etc yet for me individually and that i stay in a 2 mattress room terrace living house. I pay my television license month-to-month - so as that's the each and every year value divided up into 10 or 12 money, i can not undergo in concepts the suitable quantity. My internet / telephone / cable television is approximately £40 5 a month. Water is approximately £15 a month, gas and electric is perhaps approximately £a hundred a month. My council tax is £70 (yet then i'm getting a unmarried individual low value which you will no longer and it additionally will depend upon the cost of the valuables / close by Authority - examine alongside with your landlord - yet reckon on approximately £a hundred a month). you will additionally want contents assurance - only while you're broken into and your house taken. On good of those you may desire to element in such issues as meals / transport expenses / going out / outfits / trip journeys ... all of it provides up i'm afraid. good success besides
