We did it!! Living with very little bills at LAST!AIBU to feel like I’m missing something?

[Freedomyeah]

Nc’d and posting for traffic

So we have finally managed to reduce our bills in life to as little as possible. We bought a small cottage outright!
Our bills as it stands are
Electricity
Insurance house/life
Car insurance/tax
Fuel
Food
Phone bills x2
Childcare (term time only)

That’s it! (I think) 😬 I feel like I’m constantly missing something! I need to relax (like I thought I would be) but I’m feeling restless and uneasy! AIBU am I missing something HUGE that will jump up and bite me.
We are not in uk.

Council tax?

Ah sorry, missed the not in the U.K. bit.

Water?

Water/sewage rates?
I know you said you're not in the UK, so I'm not sure if this differs elsewhere.

Water?

Healthcare ?

No water rates here or council tax

Thinking I should have put that in OP

I can only think of general expenses such as car maintenence, boiler servicing etc

@IAskTooManyQuestions thank you that is something I need to look into we have some through work but I did plan on topping it up! 👍

It depends what you count as a bill.

I would include:

Car maintenance & mot
Clothes & shoes (because they are unavoidable costs)

And extra-curricular stuff because I see that as part of the cost of choosing to be a parent rather than a luxury.

Maybe you mean purely utilities though.

Internet?

@reefedsail

I suppose I mean monthly expenses
Yes the children have extra curricular activities which are paid termly mostly. I forgot to account for those actually 🙈

Clothes and shoes are not monthly for us so that can just be out of our leftovers for spending I suppose

@RubberTreePlant internet is part of my mobile phone bill.

Savings/Pension contributions?

Television service provider

Good for you and your small bills and your extra curricular activities and your car costs that you haven't accounted for. Yes, I do think something big will come and bite you.

Good for you OP! What a lovely feeling that must be! Hoping there isn’t a biggy you’ve forgotten (although I can’t think of one!)

dentist? GP & prescriptions

Yes, I do think something big will come and bite you.

Did you actually mean that as it came across.

Well done OP. I wish you joy and good luck in your new home xx

cheesemongery bitchy much??

Leisure, entertainment, birthdays, Xmas

Unexpected expenses

@Ragwort yes this is accounted for

@Warmhandscoldheart we don’t have a tv

@cheesemongery have I done something to you?? There’s no need to be rude!! We have cut our cloth accordingly we don’t live in a mansion! We just want a simple life! Nothing wrong with that I don’t think!

Tax

Spotify, gym. What do you mean you don’t have to pay for water?
