When i lived in an apartment it was rent i paid then electric... everything else so included cable interent and insurance for the car...not the apartment. gas money food money credit card cell phone. and like you said all the other stuff like student loans i had tickets. its expensive to live on your own but i think its worth it lol

what mr. e mann said
"Rent, utilities (unless they're included with your rent), cable, internet, phone, insurance, gas, student loans, credit cards, food." from mr. e mann

but you could totally go without cable. everything can be seen online these days
phone? you got a cellphone right? why need another phone?

for sure internet... what is this? the dark ages?
utilities > gas water electricity, be cheap and dont use the AC or Heater. save you alot of money
insurance for reals
student loans if you have them.
credit cards yay.
if you have a car, gas.
dont forget rent and food
and like money to splurge on junk food!!
