To re answer the question, for me personally.

Rent $600/month (expensive, close to downtown) Could go much lower

Food $50-$100

Electricity $15

Internet $50

And I don't pay for smartphone, but if I did I guess we tack on extra $50.

Total: ~$800/month

So it's basically the same as in Germany. 2000€ without tax is around 1300€ net here. That's a good baseline to live but without big expenses. I used to live on that but now I get a lot more and everything's peachy.

Your electricity seems extremely cheap though. It's at least double of that even in small households here.

Eh everything can be cheaper though.

As I said with  the rent, mine is a 1br and in a good spot so it is quite expensive. Can get a house 3br to rent farther out for $400.

Food is easy to make smaller, I just don't want Ramen, Rice, Potatoes, and flour every meal.

Internet can go down to $10/ month.

My electricity bill is stupid, $10 for monthly fee $5 for actual usage... it fluctuates with the seasons though as the companies change their rates for summer/winter.
