OK, remember this is a debate board, and I am going to play devil's advocate here, so please let's play nice.

They may have had problems with people sending lewd or otherwise inappropriate pictures or messages, not something you'd want children to glance over at.

I can look up the utility rates for my area by finding their website and looking at their rates. I would have to give you the names of my utility companies and other information about where I live in order for you to find the rates. I think knowing the names of my utility companies and enough location information for you to find the rates for my area is personal information.

Okay. So here's an example from where I lived before in IL.

Electric and Gas provided by AmerenIP: https://www2.ameren.com/rateest/disclaimer_res.aspx Electric Residential Rate Estimator says if I use 10,000 kwh per year (which is the national average) spread out evenly over the 12 months, I would pay a total of $1200/year for electricity. That's about $100/mo. https://www2.ameren.com/RateEst/GasRateEstimatorV2/GasRateEstimatorV2.aspx Gas Residential Rate Estimator says if I use 812 therms per year (national average) using less in the summer and more in the winter, I'd pay aboput $1000/year or $83/mo.

So that's $183/mo.

Water: http://www.amwater.com/files/IL-pdf-Champaign%202008.pdf The national average is 12000 gallons of water per month for a family of four. So using that chart, it'd be $90 every other month.

That's $45/mo. plus $183 is $228.

Phone: Let's pick this one: http://www22.verizon.com/Residential/Templates/Products/ProductDisplay.aspx Middle of the road kinda plan. $55/mo.

So that's $283/mo. for utilities in Champaign, IL using national averages. If I created a hypothetical family living there on a lowish income, I imagine it would be less than $283/mo. considering the national averages for gas and electricity are tied to the average home size (2000+ sq ft. house).

Thanks.

Again though, these are "averages" and don't represent all or even most families or even a low-income family as there are so many different variables.

Why are you making more of this than what it is?

I would think with a salary of $40,000 for a family of four, frugal isn't much of a stretch.
