Ok I have to ask on some of these because I have never heard of them. What is a tv license, congestion charge, car tax? The rest I was able to determine but those ones floored me. I live in Florida and so my amounts are in dollars.

Our monthly fees include:

Mortgage: $600
Electric: $100 to $135 in winter, Upwards of $400 in summer
Cable/Phone/Internet: $120
Water: $60
Garbage: $28 every 3 months
Car insurance: $100
Food is about $400 for 4 people
Meds and Doctors: $50 to $300 per month (it varies)

We don't have an underground here and only recently got a bus system. Not sure what it costs. Movies at night run around $7. The beaches here are free but the one pool near us is $1.50 per person per day. It's tight for us to make ends meet that's for sure.
