Ed, can you hit the total button and tell us what it would cost to live at The Fort for 1 year?
I will work up that number today and put it in here, Denise.

Let's break it down.
For the Full site per year, that's an average of $3,700 per month.
What costs do you avoid every month?
My estimates:
$250 for a power bill
$100 for a water/sewer/garbage pickup bill
$150 for property tax (this one can vary widely)
$150 for tv and internet service
$300 for the equivalent of Homeowner's Association dues (on-call maintenance, mowing, decoration up/downs, pool maintenance, etc.)
That totals $950 per month. Let's round it to $1,000 which leaves an equivalent monthly living expense left over of $2,700 for housing.
Are there any other avoidable costs that I overlooked? Any estimates above I got very wrong? Vehicle, clothing, and food expense aren't reflected here nor are annual passes/tickets or other entertainment expense.
