My family and I recently moved across the country. Our gas and electric bills have been smaller since we moved. This translates into lower bills each month, and you are even more sustainable. This has led to a smaller grocery bill, even though food costs more out here. Public Transportation and Other Amenities.

We started by categorizing our bills and spending into groups, such as housing and transportation. We then looked at how much each item in that group cost us; gas, property and car insurance, maintenance, etc. 400/month gas for truck. 130/month gas for car. Right now, it is not realistic for us to become a one car family.

If you drive your own car, you probably have to pay for gas. If you take public transit , you might need to pay for a pass. When you drive your own car, there are additional costs associated with transportation; it’s not just about what you pay for gas.
