[quote=Anonymous]Wow, your discretionary spending is very low. I'm a single parent with a similar HHI and housing costs but low childcare costs ($600/month now that DD is in afterschool) and no student loans. I spend about the same monthly overall. I do splurge on food and travel, but the extra also goes toward uncovered medical expenses (co-pays, prescriptions,etc.), transportation expenses beyond gas (i.e., car maintenance and repairs), gifts, clothing, etc. Have you been tracking long enough to say with certainty that you only spend $800/month on all that? If so good for you! I thought I was being pretty frugal saving as much as I do, but I've got almost $3K less in monthly bills than you do. [/quote]
