[quote=Anonymous]HHI = 195k Mortgage = $3,200 (bought a house to grow into with good schools) Healthcare Premiums = $500 Childcare = $1,600 Utilities = $200 Cable/Phone Plan = $350 Student Loans = $600 (for grad degrees, college was paid for) Gas/Metro = Maybe $100/month (DH and I both work from home most of the time) Food = $1,000 Eating Out = $200 That is $7,750 after putting away 5% with matching toward retirement. Plan to increase this with student loan and daycare payments later. Cars are paid off. We are super lucky that both sets of grandparents are putting 5k/year into a college fund for DC. We end up with a few grand extra each month for miscellaneous house repairs, savings, gifts, donations, etc. My two "extra" pay checks and tax return go into savings or paying down debt. We feel lucky even though we're not DCUM rich. [/quote]
