I call BS


Call it whatever you like. It isn't what we must spend to live but is what our choices costs us.

$9K for family of 4. $5.5k of that is mortgage, utilities, daycare, and afterschool. We save more than $10K/month but some of that will eventually be used for big-ticket expenses like remodeling.

Retirement and daycare account for $5100 of that.


Sorry, mortgage and daycare.

+1. Me, too. Still have a couple years to go until school, though.

Can you break down what makes up the total? Are we talking big mortgages couple of cars and private schools?

Scared to even think about it. 2 kids in college this year so that's $10,000/month for tuition. 2 houses all in probably another $10,000. And our typical Amex bill is $10,000. So $30k right there.
