My wife and I pay $1700/month for a two-bedroom house in Mountain View. I pay $300 each six months to insure an awesome Z3 that I never get to use (I take the train every day - $150/month for a pass between Mountain View and San Francisco). Internet is $60/month, Electric is usually about $50/month. I'm embarrassed to say I don't know how much we spend on food... I would guess about $400/month, but that could be wrong by quite a bit since I don't do the food shopping.
Internet is $60? Is Comcast your provider? If so and you only subscribe to Internet then that is the same price here on the east coast for subscribing only to Internet. Here with Comcast you can purchase limited cable TV (local channels and 3 to 4 cable TV chnnls) for about $10 and then the cost of Internet is $43. You might want to look into that if you have Comcast!
2 cpu g5, imac, sometimes an old pc or macbook, don't use electricity for much else besides light, varies but often 80-100. in berkeley. i wonder what's causing the large difference.
