What is your family fixed costs?

Was doing some budgeting with the wife and found the following per month:
Cell phones - 150
Cable internet - 70
Utilities - 170
Re title and license fees over 12 months - 50
That's at minimum 440$ a month before other family expenses.
I feel this is getting out of hand, gas is another 150$ a month, two person car, etc etc how can people save?

You must not have multiple kids on that cell phone plan all with their own next payments--tree fiddy a month for phones.

In my opinion, fixed expenses need to have mortgage/ rent and car insurance at a minimum.

Apparently by not having rent/mortgage, car note or insurance.

Are you seriously bitching about $440 per month? This has to be sarcasm.
Posted on 5/22/17 at 10:20 am to Smoke7024
This is pretty normal (rent) here
Posted on 5/22/17 at 10:20 am to MrSmith
I didn't include rent and cars assumed that was similar

When the SO moves in and gets added to all my insurance, phone. Probably 3200-3400 if we're including gas and food and not savings.
It's going to be a fun time while she looks for a job and we live off only my income.
Sucks because i was making extra payments on my student loans and car before she came into the picture the will now be knocked down to slightly above minimum
