[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single Guy here early 30s

Expenses
Group House Rent 600
Gas 100
Car Fund 100
Groceries 200
Insurance 100
Phone/Internet/Netflix 100
Weekend 400 (100 per weekend)

Total expenses roughly 1500 a month
Retirement 1,600 a month
Total roughly 3,000 per month can get by on around 50k a year after taxes

Income much more than that but thats beside the point

Once married

Mort age 3000 +2500
Daycare +2500 (peak with 2 kids)
Food 600 +400
Weekend fun 800 +400
Car 200 +100
Gas 100 +100

New Total Expense 4,000 up to 6500 with kids
Retirement 3,000
Total 7,000 to 10,500 = HHI of 100 to 150k after taxes

Feel free to chime in on what I am missing[/quote]

increased health insurance costs and copays and deductibles
increased dental costs
sports fees and equipment
music lessons and instruments rentals

OP for god's sake spend money now and TRAVEL.  Believe me, when you are older you may have commitments and time constraints which make this impossible,  even if you do have more money.[/quote]
