We can't tell you if $800 is reasonable, but it should be easy for you to figure out:Originally Posted by call_me_ishmael
Car insurance - you have the bills and know exactly what it is. We don't know your and your wife's driving histories, vehicle types, coverage limits, deductibles, etc. You know the amount exactly.
Phones - cell only, or land line too? What type of phone and calling plan. Again, you know what you are paying exactly, why are you asking us?
Cable/Internet - basic cable, or everything offered? Which internet plan? Look at what your provider offers, pick the plan and know the amount exactly.
Electricity.utilities - call the power company and get the past year or two useage statements for the house you are buying or already bought. Your useage likely will be similar.
Food - can be a lot or a little depending on your eating habits. But, you eat now. so keep track of it for a month.
You are asking us things we are not in a position to answer for YOU, but you should be able to figure out for yourself very easily.
