Monthly fixed expenses:
• Rent - $525
• Utilities - $110
• Phone - $35
• Internet - $77
• Subscriptions ˜ $30
• $750 - Total
Yearly expenses:
• Amazon - $140
• Auto Insurance - $320
• Website hosting ˜ $200
• Flickr Hosting ˜ $70
• $730 - Total
Which averages out to about $60 a month. Combined with $750 monthly, it appears my fixed monthly expenses are around $800.
Then, considering I am a pathetic out of control alcoholic, add in another $300 a month in booze.
So here we are at $1100 a month. I get almost $1490 a month in Social Security, which leaves $300 a month for things like, food and gas.
I've been supplementing my life here, and my travels, with my savings. Those savings could be gone by next Summer, depending on what I do in the meantime.
At that point I would down size everything! Drop my blogs and web hosting, cancel Amazon and NetFlix, shutdown my internet and services. Then park my truck and cancel the insurance.
I would certainly keep my phone and the $35 cost.
So at that point I would be just like many seniors around here. I would go on food stamps and get my rides to Kroger from the Senior Center Ride Share for $4 a trip.
And then add another $300 to the monthly kitty because I couldn't walk up the hill to the fucking liquor store.
This has been an honest assessment of the state of my life. Thanks for reading...
