[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he think the $200 a week you put into savings is your money.  So he is also taking $200. It's interesting that he takes the same money you take.

Otherwise does he feels he earns more so he gets more.  I don't know but this is really off, I would look at living somewhere more affordable.  [/quote]

Op here. I save $200/month. Not per week.

Mortgage is 2900.
Car payments, 275 and 303. I drive a Pacifica and he has a 4Runner. 
Insurance is 300.
Câble/cellphone is 500.
Electricity, gas, garbage, water is 400/month.
$200 for student loan payments. 
We pay around ~200/month on a joint credit card.

We only put 3.5% down when we bought our first home which in hindsight, was not the best decision.

If we could move somewhere with cheaper property taxes and did not have mortgage insurance, we would save a lot of money. [/quote]

Your choices are an issue.

House mortgage is too high. $2K-2500 Max
Insurance is very high.
Cable/Cell should be $50 or less for each phone and $50 for internet.  No cable.
Your utilities are also very high.
And, car payments.  You stager buying cars so pay one off, then buy another.  Not two new cars at once.
