$1k / mo for real estate tax? Where do you live? South East here, and I pay maybe $1k / year. I am in walking distance of a nice little downtown. 1600 square foot house on a 1.5 acre lot. Utilities and gas is in the $300 / mo range, and that’s without any attempt to optimize. Food is around $800 / mo, almost all organic, but I’ve been thinking about cutting that price down using mrmoneymustache techniques. Health insurance is nuts, though. I’ll grant you, and I have no hope that it’ll improve. I’m currently generously covered by my employer, but if I wasn’t, I’d look at medical tourism for anything serious. I’ve been thinking of expatriating to France or Spain for a variety of reasons, healthcare being one.
