Thought that it would be worth an update:
1. CATV, $250 to $300 per month, 20% pa
2. Insurance Auto $1800 to $3000 pa, 66% pa
3. Cellular $90 to $110 per month, 22% pa
BTW, the $3000 auto is for 3000 miles per year. Insurance is thus $1 per mile. Gas is $3.00 per gallon and 30 mpg so $0.10 per mile! Thanks to the folks in DC for all you have done for us. I have left out food and health care.
