Ok but now do it again with a salary of $70k (much more of the national average) and see where you get.  The federal minimum wage barely buys you a dozen eggs these days.  So yeah, $150k is rich.  Gambling, eating out and vacations mean you have extra money to spend.

+1000
Also $200/month on Netflix, Hulu, etc?  Pick one or two and spend only $25/month.

So many ways to save even more.

Savings:
$175 Netflix/hulu category
$300 ordering out
$240 eating out
-$50 add in another 50 to do those 2 categories at home
$100 Only spend $100/month on clothing
$500 vacation instead of $3000

and the list goes on. Lots of extras to cut from there.  Also if single, then find friends and live in a townhouse/apartment where everyone has their own room/bathroom but share common areas.  You could save another $500+ on rent

HBO+, peacock, Paramount, Hulu+(Live Tv, Disney+ no ads and ESPN+ no ads), YouTube no ads , Netflix, Apple TV, and of course Amazon prime.

Maid is $200 every month, she used to charge me $150, but went up to $200 for a two bedroom apartment. [/quote]
