It's a lot tighter as the GP underestimated expenses. The only $100 electric bill that'll show up is one month every other year when there aren't any heating or cooling needs. Over the last two years there have been none of those days. I live in a trailer FFS and I'm near $200 in the summer: At my house it's $270. Cable isn't $100 unless one receives public assistance. Strange requirement isn't it? Those who aren't getting public assistance have to buy the whole package at about $200/mo. OTOH the $200 clothing budget is excessive if there aren't growing kids. $100/wk for groceries and cleaning supplies is about right if you eat sparingly (I eat sparingly and alone). Left out were: Car maintenance, car insurance, home renters insurance, licenses and fees, grooming, health insurance, health care out of pocket, other things I used to know when I did this sort of thing in a different line of work. I agree with your net paycheck calc but it's not tight, it's blown, important real expenses aren't there. EDIT: I was going by Florida expenses but my ham friend below notes the heiress was at Disneyland. Florida pay scales are far less than elsewhere because we're all here on vacation, dontcha know.
