    Agreed, though also does need to be scaled with the time you are comparing to’s essentials as well. IE land line phones were essential before we reached a point where cellphones are allowed to be used for similar services. But yeah fully agreed in modern times… Essential living cost should be

    “Food”

    “Rent/Housing”

    “Utilities” (IE power/water/Sewage etc…)

    “transportation”

    “Internet + Celphone”.
