i learned from my hybrid to be a fuel efficient driver.
i went from paid off hybrid with $50 a month on gas to $350 car payment with estimated $300 on gas. so basically my monthly cost of living increased $600.
i usually pay off all my credit card every month so my current financial debt is $320,000 ($300k from mortgage and $20 from honda odyssey).
my utility bills are $230 from verizon wireless on 3 smartphone, $100 on cable (internet & tv), $25 on drinking water, $40 on water, $50 on electricity, $20 on gas, and $150 life insurance policy.
my auto insurance is around $1700 on 2009 acura tsx and 2011 odyssey (new odyssey policy was $50 cheaper than my old hybrid, $1000) and i have property tax of $4800 this year!!! i hate you county of orange (they say the property value has gone up by .07%, which i think is bullsh*t)
i'm a big yelper. i use to dine out 5 nights out of a week. now, i eat heathly choice's, hungry-man, and lean cuisines for lunch. for dinner, i have rice and kimchi...
thanks to my child, my bachelor's life is ruin. i hate him yet i love him to death...
