How is it that we are supposed to know what your spending rates are for a year on these things?  Your telephone, cable, and internet should be very easy for you to arrive at.  Just look at your monthly bill.  Same with your utilities. Heating of course will vary with the seasons.  Food is possibly the most difficult to get a handle on.  I alway pay my food bill with my credit card. At the end of the month, I know exactly what I spent on food for the month. Don't forget eating out. You will probably be surprised how much you spend in that category.  And of course there is entertainment. For a single person, that will most likely be one of the major expense items.

It depends on what the apartment heats with, if you need cable, and a phone, and if the landlord pays the water and sewage.  Take your time looking. I would suggest that you find an apartment where the water is paid. Also, cable really is not a necessity. Make that one of your last priorities. And a phone, use either a cell phone, or a home phone not both. I would suggest a basic home phone. Meaning, no caller ID, and no call waiting. When it comes to a place where you heat with gas, keep your thermostat at on temp. and leave it there. If you keep your thermostat set at 64-65 all winter you will save yourself a lot of money. Invest in some thick socks to run around the house in and a couple of thick blankets to sleep with. You won't freeze and you will adjust to that temperature and become comfortable with it.  As far as electric goes, be careful with it.Just use common sense by not leaving any lights on that you don't need. Remember, not only do you have to worry about your utilities, you are going to have a grocery bill, cleaning/laundry supplies, necessities such as toilet paper, toothpaste, shampoo, soap. You are doing good now by looking for ways to create a budget by asking for advice.  There are alos efficiency apatments where all utilities are paid. Ofcoarse you won't find one with a washer/dryer hook-up. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you find an apartrment that does not have a washer/dryer hook-up, the laundry mat can rack up a nice bill for you real quick. Good luck!

If you want DSL then Verizon has a 768/128 plan for $14.95 a month but you need Verizon phone service to get it.\n\nFor dial-up, Net-Zero is $9.95 or less depending upon how long you sign-up for.

have been using verizon for phone ( years now) and internet for almost a year  and am actually very happy with the dsl service . right now i pay $17.15 a month for dsl which includes the fees and tax .price could possibly vary depending on where you live .  have not checked into package prices with the option adding the satellite dish , casue as a renter not allowed to have satellite . \ni have heard rumors my dsl price will be going up when my year aggreement needs to be renewed ??  did have some installation problems with dsl and verizon cust. service was very helpful . i would say it might be worth it to try and you have 30 days to cancel if your not happy.

Most definetely go with SBC Global.  I have tried the majority of them.  If u ask them they can set up up for $21.99.  Great service, great connection.  Tell them u want the $21.99 deal, but remember you have to negotiate that same price one yr from the time u sign up, every year.  G L    I love sbc.  I pay $68.03 every month for telephone, all amenities, long distance anywhere in cont. USA,  Internet service.  They now have a special going for TV, Telephone, and Computer. All in one and very inexpensive.  Check em' out.  G L

1. Toshiba..check ebay or circuit city\n2. Microwave, mini-fridge, plates, utensils, tv (w/dvd player), computer, and incidentals like toiletries.\n3. Laundry...maybe 20 bucks a month..maybe. Food...anywhere from 150 to 300 dollars. depends on how smart you are with your shopping.\n4. Cingular gets good reception, but verizon is the most dependable. Talk to your parents about getting a family share plan. That way you can save the most money, and anyone else you call within the verizon network costs you no minutes. \n5. I have a Trek Mountain Bike. Cost me around $200. It's a great  21 speek bike and it really helps get around a large campus. Makes climbing the hills as easy as eating a sandwich.\n6. Ramen is easy...but WHOA the sodium. Sandwich meats and tortilla shells. More healthy than subway, and good hot. (refer to microwave)\n7. The best way to control homesickness is don't be a homebody. Go out and meet the people that are there to be met. You are all there for the same experience. Which shouldn't include getting drunk all the time and sleeping with every person on campus. Making mistakes like that will only make you miss home more. \n8. Any Phys. Ed. class is not going to be the hardest, but it is definitely the most annoying. Get it over with. Everyone's gotta do it.

Your IT equipment is not the main draw here if the business will be housed in an office and have employees.  If all the components of the business is strictly confined to the computers and internet appliances, then you could base your usage/cost on this alone.  If you have employees, the bigger utility expense will be the AC/Heat, lighting and other items normally found in the office.\n\nYou can determine the approximate electrical cost by adding up the wattage of each applicance and/or system and the dividing that by 1,000 and multiplying that number by the current cost per Kilowatt Hour (kwh) charged by the utility company.\n\nHope this helps!

Wow, that internet quota is going to run out fast. You should just go ahead and buy a unlimited service, it shouldnt be that much more $. But a way to mter that is look for a minute minder freeware somewhere.

There is a couple dollars fees and taxes, not much more.  But also, the $12.99 is limited time (I think 6 months.)  Also, unless DSL is all you can get, a lot of times Cable is better, faster, easier.  I get Cox Cable for $14.95/month perminantly, no limits.\n\nI also recommend highly against loading any software to get broadband connectivity.  With Yahoo/AT&T it's almost impossible (not quite, but almost.)  With most Cable companies, although they send a disc, you usually don't need it.  \n\nLast advice:  Use a router, whatever you do.  Routers provide a basic hardware based firewall which is not as suspect to bugs and problems.  Even if you just have 1 computer.  Though more than just computers connect to the internet these days, so it may be worth it more in the long run.

I live in a rural area as well, no cable or dsl ever coming this way, so I invested in high speed satellite internet.\nDirectway satellite provides this service, contact them to get you in touch with an installer.\n\nIt'a about $100.00 a month for 15 months, and then it drops down to $60.00 or so. I forget how much the Installation fee was, I have had satellite for 1 1/2 years now. It's been pretty good as far as reception, just like the tv, when it's HEAVILY snowing or raining reception goes out (sometimes) until it clears up,and that is not very often, can count on one hand, but other than that, wonderful! You can download music, watch clips, anything that dsl does, satellite does, maybe it takes a couple of seconds longer to upload the info but it's the only choice I had!I am very happy with my choice.
