I live in the Fox Cities area, Northeastern WI, its like 30 mins SW of Green Bay.
I live in a pretty nice ass house, share with 1 other person-$250/mo (I pay a little more in the winter but still under $300)
phone bill $80/mo
Car Ins $140/mo (2 cars and a motorcycle, and I have a pretty bad record)
Food $150-$200/mo
xbox live-$7/mo
about $720/mo plus random shit probably $1,000/mo. Not to bad, I pull in close to $1k a week, jobs here are plentifull as long as you are a hard worker. Some people pay $500-$700 for rent but they are getting hosed, in this area you could buy a pretty nice house for that.
