I live in Southern California, the cost of living is ludicrous, though I fully understand that the work (at least the work available for me) is "easy" work, it still needs to pay at least that much to be able to afford life.

The job consisted of sitting in an office (air conditioned) and answer phones, or file paperwork, and send emails out etc.

I know we have it good, so I am not complaining, just noting differences.

My home for example, cost $650,000 and is an "average" sized home, yet on the older side. It was built in the 1950's and needs constant and consistent repairs. I love it, of course, but one would think that $650,000 would equal up to something GRAND, not average.

My four kids and I spend about $1200 a month on groceries. I make sure to buy them as much organic stuff as possible though that's getting tough with inflation.

I also have a home garden. I could do better though, when I was living off of $16 an hour I was spending 696$ on groceries, but there were only three kids back then.

My utilities include water, sewer, gas, electric, phone, internet... about $700 a month

Then there is house insurance (mandatory cause of the mortgage) car insurance (mandatory in california), health insurance (mandatory as well) and those.

We do live nice, and we do enjoy our lifestyle, but we sure do pay for it.

I would say that the people around me all spend about the same amount of money on stuff, though I have four children and that really is an anomoly out here - most people have two, and we are in "big family" territory.
