  • I’m in Dallas Texas. No state income tax, but property tax is about 2% of home value, so even if it’s paid off your looking at ~$500/mo on a $300k house, which is about the minimum in the city here right now. If you’re over a certain age that’s reduced a bit. If you had decent insulation here on a smaller house and you’re cautious with your AC use, you could probably get away with electricity of $100/mo most of the year and $200 in the summer. I think my water/sewer/trash is about $60 a month and my gas is about $60 a month. Our home and auto insurance is high in Texas. I’m cheap, so we use 5g internet for $30/mo. Gas is $2.70/gal here today. I threw a few things in an online grocery cart and screenshotted so you can see our food prices.
