I pay around that per month, but that includes all of my expenses, including rent and other bills, not just credit card alone. Maybe the person you're responding to has kids or lives in a higher COL area or something.
In some places, rent alone might be that much though.
With rent and all expenses that's about what we spend.
Without rent like they mentioned it seems so much. I dunno how I would spend that much in a month. Apparently I'm wrong for asking though.
I don't know much about their situation, but one of my coworkers has kids in daycare and it seems insanely expensive to the point where they've recently needed to get a second job.
Rent for a 1b apartment is more than that in some cities in California
It's not usually that high but it's not totally uncommon for me to spend that much a month. I usually try to keep my spending between $1,200-1,800/month but that doesn't always happen.
