[quote=Anonymous]I had a 165k in 2021. I got laid off my 330k job in Covid and took it as unemployed for a few months. I put 60 percent down on my house in 2017 and had a 3.65 rate. I had three cars no loans. With three kids and two in college here was my bills $4,000 a month House (mortgage, prop tax and insurance. $1,000 a month home maint, repairs and utilities $6,000 a month tuition (cheap for two kids due to merit aid) $3,000 a month food, clothes, unexpected bills, car repair, car insurance, dental. So I was running $14,000 a month bills. And we stopped eating out, taking vacations etc. I also cut my 401k contribution just to the match. I was pulling $6,000 a month from savings. It was easy on 330k and could even max 401k. I now have a $230k job and only one kid in college. I also did moonlighting in a second job I will clear 50k. At 280k not bad. But ti be honest 300k is what I need to pay bills, go on vacations, go out to dinner, buy cars etc. [/quote]
