My wife takes care of any extra money, she’s thoughtful like that.

When I had kids yes making over $200k had a house note, 4 car notes all pre owned, school tuition, travel ball or cheer, vet bills from dog & cat, and feed 1/2 kids in neighborhood who hung out at the house.

Those days are gone.
Sometimes I miss it.
Financially have more spending money, also ability to sleep late are things I now enjoy.

Utilities $400


That seems way low for electric, water, trash, internet, phone, tv and natural gas if you have it


Electric - $160 average
Water + Trash - $40
Internet - $120
TV - $40
Propane - $25 average
Phone - Company pays

Total - $385

We make approximately $250k annually. Mortgage is $2200. Utilities $400. Car note $600. Kids /gym/memberships: $1500. Insurances around $500. I think that’s about right. Everything else is saved or pissed off over the year. Payments are monthly.


I was about to give you the same down vote as the others for bragging about income. But then after some quick math. That's pretty much where we are and I didnt realize it.

Which also means I don't really know Wtf we spend it on. ....

I’m always floored by people making 200k/year yet they have a mortgage and car payments. Depends on how long they have been making this kind of money. Also, what if they have a house mortgaged at 2.5%. Maybe they aren't in a hurry to pay it off.


My mortgage is 2.5% and I don’t want to pay it off anytime soon.
