      Just about. I have pretty comprehensive insurance on my car, plus content and property insurance for my home.

      All average between $100-$200 each, so $500 is a reasonable estimate.

        That is crazy to me. I pay something like 500€/year for house insurance including contents and about 400€/year for the car. So that’s about 75€/month. But I’m in a different country so who knows. Your other expenses weren’t that different to mine, though.

          I’m in Canada so our dollar is worth less than American dollars and I believe euros are with more than USD, works out to 330 euro or something.

          Our rates are clearly higher still. But hopefully that puts things into a better context.

          I’m around $35 CAD for my wage per hour, which is still pretty low IMO.

          Inflation has hit us really hard…
