In VA (keep in mind there were 7 of us, 3200 SF house, plus a full heated/cooled basement, so roughly 5,000 sf heated/cooled)

 

Electricity = $250

Propane = $25 (stove, water heater, fire places)

Water = $0 (on a well, included with electricity)

Internet = $100/month for about 5 mbps

Phone = $15/month (needed it for our septic)

Cell Phone = $150/month for 2 phones

Trash = $50 month (pick up/recycling)

 

In Italy:

 

Electricity = $350/month average (higher in summer, because we have the pool pump, lower in winter, but we also have solar HW, and some offset with electricity -- electricity is very expensive here)

Gas = $150/month average (higher in winter, very low in the summer)

Water = incl. in rent

Trash = incl. in rent

Internet (incl. phone) $75/mo (was at 1.5 mbps...may be increasing any day to around 50 mbps)

Cell Phone = $75 a month for 3 smart phones with 3 mbs data and 1 regular flip phone (yeah, it's dirt cheap!)

Cape Cod, MA

Propane for gas stove is around $200 a year

Electricity is about $150 a month

Water bill is around $200 a year

Internet with basic cable $60 a month

Cell phones (4) $150 a month

we get a lot of free wood which we heat with in the winter thank God, a cord would go for $250-$350 cut and split when we have to buy more

trash pick up is part of our town taxes or something
