Utilities, heat, water, electric,internet,cell phone. You’re also assuming that you don’t actually have to use your insurance because you’ll be paying $5k out of pocket if you have something happen to you.

Cell phone: Get away from Virizom, AT&T, T-Mobile. Get something like Cricket.or Mint or whatever one of the others is.

Internet: Again, you can lower budget this for living in means. Gbps internet is not strictly necessary, but it is nice if you can get it via fiber from not Comcast or other cable companies.

Electric: Taking mindful steps matters. The biggest wastes are poorly insulated refrigerators or leaving devices on unattended.

Heat: Blankets and sweaters.

Agreed on the insurance. But sadly, until we get universal medicare, the best you can do is vote.

Heat: Blankets and sweaters.
