Interesting.
I have two kids. We spend about $450/month on food. We don't eat out except when we go on vacation.
I stopped riding the subway because it was so disgusting and bike to work. Saves me over 2K/year.  The Mint Mobile Plan for the family costs around $650/year.
I paid off all my student loans by the time I was 35.
I bought fixer uppers and fixed GC'd them myself so I have mortgage free homes (yes, plural).
As a female architect, I make 110K/year and that's considered a pretty decent salary for my ilk.

If you think your job is just about greasing your consumerist lifestyle, yes, you will be poor in so many ways than just financially.[/quote]
