What I Spend Each Month on my Family of Six in Boise Idaho

[@bradharnden4500]

Thank you for sharing. I am amazed you can do all of that on your budget! That's amazing!

Very helpful Benj, thanks 👍

[@BenjForeman]

Glad it was helpful!😊

Benj, good video brotha- thats pretty close to what our household expense is here in Vegas!

[@Ripenr32]

Damn what part of Vegas are you in? His utilities are like 95% cheaper than mine.

[@BenjForeman]

Nice! Hope you’re staying cool!!😊

Wow Benj, you are an inspiration to us! I love your frugalness and how you budget! Even though inflation has gone through the roof (yes, all due to Biden!), I think you are spending way less than the average American, even those with much smaller families! Yet you and your family still enjoy life! Coming from CA, we’re already finding living expenses much cheaper here. No regrets on our decision to move here (and choosing you as our realtor!) 😊Our goal now is to live simpler and have no mortgage in a couple of months. We couldn’t do that while living in CA. Thanks for this video! More people should live by your example! We’re certainly going to try! God bless you!

Thanks Cindy! Glad you’re enjoying life here in Idaho-makes me happy. ❤😊

This is awesome - we love old cars too! It was a really sad day when we had to say goodbye to our 07 Sienna, got her to to 231k miles and she was done.

Love it! :)

Most people don't live the austere life that you live, Benj. I applaud you for cutting your expenses, but the total cost will be a lot higher for most people. I always hear how taxes are low in Idaho, but nobody ever talks about how there's a sales tax on food. One positive thing you can say about California is that it does not have a food sales tax. Overall, it's pretty clear that it's a little less expensive to live in Idaho. 👍👍👍

Man, I think you're probably getting by for less than my mom living on her own in Weiser, ID. Definitely less that my own family in SW Austin where electric and trash can run north of $250 a month during the summer.

[@BenjForeman]

Wow! I feel good about $78/month now! 😊

Okay, when Trump becomes president, I expect the cost of living to plummet by, say, 20% in the 4 years he will be in office. I'm gonna follow your logic and I'm gonna hold you to it, ok?
