[quote=Anonymous]Family of 8. We spend $4k on rent and about $5k on everything else, including saving for non-monthly expenses but not including retirement (about $1200, pretax) That $5k includes $840 utilities/cable/phone/internet $800 transportation expenses $450 subsidizing our rental property $500 house cleaning/lawn mowing (leftover from when I was sick, will be getting rid of when I can bear it $500 credit card (paying off medical expenses, this is 4x minimum payment) $200 clothes, haircuts, Dr copays $150 charity $1500 goes on groceries, toiletries, diapers, etc, including a once a week Mom Doesn't Cook night (Chinese takeaway or Costco Pizza) That leaves about $300 which I try to squirrel away for Christmas/Birthdays/Shit happening. That last one is a killer. Shit may only happen to a person once a year, but multiply that by eight and you've got shit happening at least every 45 days. [/quote]
