I don't live extravagantly but my list is almost twenty items long: rent, health insurance, electric, city water, phone/DSL, satellite tv, alarm service, gym, car payment, car insurance, cell phone, groceries, nutritional supplements, contact lenses, gasoline, house cleaner, newspaper, some entertainment expenses plus one credit card payment. That's easily $3500 per month for me without taking into account business expenses like employees, domains, hosting, software & services.

Your list includes a lot of luxuries that many people do not purchase.
Rent: $460
Insurance: From work
Electric: $70
Water: $0
Gas: $20
Cable/phone/internet: $160
Alarm: $0
Gym: $0
Car: paid off
Car insurance: $20
Cell: $0
Food: $300
Vitamins: ~$0
Gasoline: $20

I never understand why people think that if someone else spends less money than they do that person must live a shitty life. It doesn't make sense. Simply a different lifestyle. A lot of your expenses I have absolutely no need for.
