[quote=Anonymous]HHI 160K here...same position...I public schools, smaller mortgage, but a lot of medical bills.  DW is a SAHM, so there  is potential for about 30K more per year (I am maxed out in my field)...

No money left over...minimal savings for college.  I do have a healthy 401k, and only one kid.  If DD goes in state, she we should be fine.

as for my expenses:

I eat lunch at the cafeteria...
About half cooked, half takeout (I am the cook, and am often tired after work).
We pay 160 a  month for 3 smart phones: (DD is 12)
No daycare expenses
Minimal entertaining...
Clothing...not sure.  most of it is for growing DD, probably 500/year for her.
Cars: two car payments on a Subaru and a VW....drive about 14000/year total.
Activities...not too much, right now, usually religious school, and one sport.
Gifts, about $200 per year...(birthday & Hanukkah).  This year, will be higher with Bat Mitzvah.
Vacations, about 2 -3k/year.  We used to spend a lot more...but that is not an option.

Other big expenses:
Mortgage: 2K/mo
Ulitities 150/mo
Cable/internet: 160/month, but I use the internet for work
Medical:  about 750/month (I can not cut that back and live....most of it is for cancer treatments)
Life Insurance (not dropping that): about 200/month.
