[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It costs me $5,100 per month to run the house.  That includes mortgage (PITI), food, utilities, car insurance, house cleaners, and lawn service.  This also includes $500 into my car fund for when I'll need to buy something.  That leaves me with $1,900 for play money.

You mention after taxes---just taxes or all the other stuff that comes out of your paycheck like 401K contributions and insurance premiums.  If the $7,000 is after taxes but not including other contributions, then it gets tougher.  I'm 50 so I put away 2500 into my 401K so I would have 4,500 and then another $300 for insurance so now I have $4,200.  I could take away the car savings and run the house on $4,600.  But I'm still short $400 so I would have to scale back my retirement contributions.[/quote]

Are you really that tone death?

You'd live in a house that costs far less.  You don't have lawn service or house cleaners or a car fund.  [/quote]+1. It’s not that difficult to vacuum, clean a toilet, or scrub a tub. [/quote]
