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.

Same as in Germany. You can get small flats with all necessities easily for 200-300€, 50€ a month for food is possible too. Internet for 10€ easily, with volume cap even below that. If you're really frugal electricy could be less than 20€.

But yeah, it seems US is pretty much on the same level as Germany. Still, I wouldn't want to live with 1300€ a month or less. Makes saving up for big things pretty slow.
