About 15 years ago I was living off of Essen and my ammo budget was ~$200/month. I can’t imagine it’s gone down.

Grass cutting is around 200 per month.

Incidentally, the house next door is for rent. $2350/mo for 2000 sqft okay house on a little lake. Seems low.

You think $50 a cut is a lot? Well at least we know you have a 0 lot line with no yard.

I’m in Livingston Parish outside Walker city limits, 1850 sq ft. house. I live by myself and work from home.
Water/Gas through City of Walker $50-70
Sewer through Magnolia Water $70
Garbage (Waste Management) $32
Electricity $125-$150, Demco. Will usually have 1 month that spikes. Thermostat kept at 70-72.
$240 lawn care, which includes weed-eating and edging a large lot.
I previously lived within Walker city limits and had Entergy; they were considerably higher for a 1450 sq ft house. .

Don’t do it.
The stupid cost of houses now plus the 7% interest rate would make buying a house a really unwise decision

Water, sewage, trash? Trying to lay out a projected budget with the new mortgage and want to cover all my bases.
If you have to ask you can't afford it.
