How much $ are your monthly expenses, including everything, such as rent, tuition, clothes, insurance, food, extras, etc.
Feel free to indicate your family size, where you live, your income, a breakdown of your expenses, etc.

Brooklyn, family of 4.
Voted 2-4, but it's closer to 4. We do get medicaid and foodstamps, so without that expenses would be way higher.
Rent itself is over 2k, then comes utilities, reg household products, tuition, health insurance for child that needs therapies that Medicaid wouldn't cover, metrocards, occasional ubers to child's appointments, food (SNAP doesn't cover it all) and clothes. I haven't bought new clothes in a while, and try to minimize expenses as much as possible. Otherwise expenses would easily go to 5k monthly.

I think about the same, possibly a bit more. My husband takes care of most of the bills.
