#22If we’re talkiing regular monthly expenses: - Health Insurance for family of four: €118 - Accountant: €99 - Apple One Subscription: €19.95
Wow, that's pretty good value. in Germany it's a lot higher unfortunately. I'm on the public health insurance which costs around €800 p.m - my company pays half.

#231. Linode VPS 12.5$/month
2. domains around 100$ year
3. Backblaze personal backup 60$ year.
Working on 2011 Mac Mini in Macvim, cheap and works perfectly fine.
I mentioned fun part, and will skip mentioning health insurance, car etc.

#24most expensive: a tool used for regulating exposure to local environmental weather conditions & providing access to fresh water, multiple energy sources (usage billed separately), waste disposal, storage, some degree of sound isolation, privacy and physical security. very handy. costs around AUD 10k annual subscription. don't leave home without one!
Taxes?

#261. AWS 5000/mo
2. Datadog 1500/mo
3. Papertrail 800/mo
Datadog is expensive and slow to improve - but there wern't any much-better alternatives when we deployed.

#271: required health insurance: €120/month but I get 100 euro from the government so €20/month 2: a server at DigitalOcean: €5/month and domain names at TransIP €3.65/month 3: prepaid phone bill (€10 to €15)/year In general I just don't like subscriptions. I prefer to pay only for things I use.
I got my phone bill to almost zero/year by using what's app calls.

#29We live and cruise on a 12m sailboat.
Annually (last year): Boat maintenance/upgrades €2547, Food €2333, Marina fees (mostly in winter) €1335, Fuel €900, Cruising fees €664, Shorepower €350, Entertainment €240, theoldreader.com subscription €17.
Details vary a lot depending on where we are every year and what exactly breaks on the boat or gets upgraded. That year we anchored in Greece for the summer and spent winter in a Sicilian marina with a good discount.
