How much do you bring home each month? How much is your mortgage?

Also gotta pay for car, insurance, utilities, food, gas, speech therapy, etc.
There's nothing left. It sucks.
Tell me how much you bring home and how much the mortgage/rent is.

This is 12/5 8:54am. We are in practically the same boat. It does suck. Our only good news is that kid is in public school now (started kindergarten) but there is still the aftercare payment.

I bring home 4532 a month...I rent in a shitty SW apartment for $960 because I am saving $1200 a month towards a house (Have $23K so far). I get no taxes taken out. The money I bring home is after I have paid my medical insurance and 5% into a 401K. I live off $67K a year. I make $36K in bonuses which I use to pay taxes and am saving for the house as well. I also have a car payment and student loans. I carry some credit card debt because $67K is tight for a family of 3. I always pay the credit cards off in May with my largest bonus check. I will have $50K saved by the end of next year. One more year of savings and then I will buy something with 20% down in Florida where I will more than likely make around $80K and have a nice big house with a pool instead of a shack in DC with no yard and roaches.

After that I pay for every single thing. 3 K mortgage, 2 cars, tutors, lessons, insurance, bi-weekly maids, utilities, home improvements, groceries, gifts, eating out, entertaining (we entertain quite a lot - usually 20 - 30 people at least once a month - dinner, booze etc). We have 2 kids, they go to public school. We have great medical insurance. We do not have any pets. I only go to parlors for hair cut. I color my own hair and I do my own nails and beauty treatments. I also save to pay for annual vacations - 10 K - 15 K.

3k seems like a small mortgage for someone who entertains 20-30 people regularly. How big is your house? Where is it? Did you buy a long time ago? How much do you save (retirement, college, investments)?
