[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make a budget for non-essentials and stick to it.  Stop with the iPhone's and outrageous monthly phone plans.

Also, buy housing for less.  Would you rather live in a 2400 sq ft 4 bed full basement nice yard house in fabulous area?  Sure, but don't.  Buy the 1600 sq ft 3 bed split level or TH on a small lot in a safe neighborhood.  Be wary of Hoa fees, some are $100 a year vs $100 a month.

Stop with the flying vacations each year . Make those once every three or four.  Do driving trips and explore your own city.

Buy the least expensive car that is safe to drive and reliable.  Keep it as long as it is safe and not costing $$ to fix.

Did you even click the link? Why are you inventing a housing strawman?[/quote]

NP. I read the link. Housing is not a strawman, it's a major expense.[/quote]

The family in the link doesn't have a 2400 sq ft 4 bedroom, they have a very modest house, so posting that people with this income should pick a modest house doesn't make sense: they did that. [/quote]

They should pick a more modest location.[/quote]
