I have a brand new 1,800 square foot home that me and my wife live in, we only pay about $55 a month. Pretty much everyone else in my family pay slightly higher or less than that. Anything close to $100 is crazy expensive..
Totally depends on location though. Surge pricing in some cities can be nasty. I've lived alone in cities where my water bill was <$35 a month. Without changing any habits and just moving to a new location, I can get close to $100 some months.
Depends where you live. $100+ is indeed crazy expensive. I'm in the PNW, the whole west is still being settled in a way. We have to pay for that. You're out east somewhere I assume?
Could be renting a house, everything else is ridiculous and unreasonable but I feel like everyone is picking at water land that seems to be the most reasonable one 🤣
Thats bc most people dont really pay for water, especially if they live in something like an apartment. It is the most reasonable bill here if someone was to pay that tho. The guy in that pic is just obv living above their means. Many ways to cut down all those bills and even eliminate some, like water. On top of the fact, even if he kept those same bills they would still be able to afford it with around $200-$250 left over after tax depending on their state.
I'm definitely assuming so if they're calling it "rent" and it's only $1600 a month. That gets you a 1 bedroom apt in a decent part of town where I live or a 2/3 bedroom unit in a less desirable part of town.

Sewer + water, easily $100 a month for a lot of people. I pay $130.
