I have it set at 40% is that ok?

Answer
Depending on what type of heat your using, a fireplace, furnace, portable heaters, etc. Usually you need to turn off the humidifier in the winter. I use a wood burning stove and just place a cast iron tea pot with water in it. But when I use the gas furnace it makes it's own humidity. Then electric heat your setting seems to be okay for most homes, again it depends on where you live.

What are the average utilities for a 2 bed/bath house in Fayetteville, NC?

Miss Britt

I'm moving in in 2 months and am working on my budget. How much should I figure in on -
Electric
Gas (fireplace, water heater & dryer)
Water
& Sewer

Answer
Let's assume the house is about 1200 square feet (although a luxury 2/2 could be ten times that big).

Electric and gas - average per month $150
Water/sewer/trash - $40

Don't forget yard care, pet expenses, insurance, and all the other things people leave out of their budgets like replacing furniture and appliances, auto maintenance, etc.. Have a $2000 emergency fund in place ASAP, and work on building an emergency fund of 6 months expenses. Stay out of debt.
