Came out to $875/Month. Some extra stuff pops up here and there,but this is basically what I survive on. I don't really want for anything,I do have money to buy if I did. I guess I'm just a simply man living a simply life. I should add that I'm a single guy living in a modest house in a small town,I have no debt. I added up my basic expenses the other day.

I agree with Cash Canuck. I eat local, grow some of my own vegetables and ride my bike a lot, walk for groceries, etc. Good post, lots of good ideas, all common sense.

I'm often surprised that I do get by, especially since my expenses are so high. But it's not that hard. You can make a lot of choices that make it easier, like you say, using the library. I do wish I didn't have student loans, but oh well.

Mad about high gas prices? Eat local, don't drive (or at least drive less). I especially like that so many aspects of frugal living are also good for the planet.
