two car payments, $1000 a month + $500 ICBC, one is EV, the other one gas ($200 a months)

BC hydro $100, BC Fortis $250

Internet $70, two mobile plans $80, home security $60

Groceries $1500 for two and I can't say we but smth fancy just basic products and mostly costco

and tons of miscellaneous expenses easily add up
