Where do you people get your monthly nut figures from?

I have read many posts that say people have monthly nuts of 2K-3K etc, my question is how in the hell do you people do it?

I don't think I'm extravegant by any stech of the imagination but my monthly nut is about 6K monthly.

How do you live off of a 2-3K monthly nut?

This is my monthly estimated expenses for November.

I am super conservative with this so I usually end up only spending 4k, but 5k is my goal. Any extra money goes towards my bankroll.

Also note that this is more than I need to survive, so if it's coming down to it I don't need to spend 50 dollars on music or books a month, but I would never let myself get into the situation where I'd have to cut it out.

I got screwed with health insurance due to my own idiocy. I was dropped off my parents plan a few months ago after graduation and didn't properly take care of the situation, thus I am forced to pay this rediculous amount for one more month before I go find something cheaper...so that number should drop to 150-200.

Lastly, taxes is probably over conservative and I'm going to HR Block next week to discuss a better estimate, so that will change.
