[quote=Anonymous]OP- unless these folks track every dollar like you did I think you need to take these estimates with a huge grain of salt... b/c as you know, until you start tracking your perceptions of what you spend are typically WAY OFF. We have been tracking every dollar in Quicken for years, so i have complete confidence in these monthly averages from 2010. At the time, we had 1 child under the age of 2 yrs: Rent: 2020 Utilities and car insurance: 346 Child care: 1200 Groceries: 439 Other food (meals out, coffee out, snacks out, wine and beer, etc): 193 Household shopping (furniture, decorations, cat food, etc): 152 Other shopping (gifts, other stuff hard to classify): 371 Travel and auto repair: 330 Misc (professional dues, donations, vet bill, etc): 349 So, roughly 6800K / month, excluding savings[/quote]
