  • I have an ~1800sqft house in the US South East in a LCOL area.

    • Garbage collection is $5/wk
    • Water + Sewage is ~$150/mo
    • Electricity is ~$150/mo
    • Internet is $55/mo
    • Propane is ~$150/yr
    • Lawn Care is ~$800/yr
    • Property Tax is ~$2400/yr
    • Home Insurance is ~$1500/yr
    • HOA is ~$1400/yr

    We will probably spring for pest control next year which I expect to be about $100/mo

    Unless I bungled the math, that works out to $11,970/yr

    This obviously doesn’t include any maintenance, repairs, or improvements

    EDIT: Just saw your second edit. Propane is still new to us; last winter we heated almost exclusively with the heat pump. This year we plan to try using the propane more and see how the cost differs. We pay $100/year to rent a tank and the propane truck comes by once a month and tops it off. Then we get a bill for however much they add.






















  • Really depends on where you draw the line on processing I guess.

    Cooking? Killing? Seasoning?

    There’s a popular dish in Thailand; กุ้งเต้น Goong Dten “Dancing Shrimp”; made of tiny whole live shrimp seasoned with lime and chilies.

    Arguably less processed than a raw oyster
    Also, arguably more processed than a raw oyster.
