So I was recently going over my finances and I realized its literally impossible

The $1700 mortgage is a place where cuts could be made.

$295k mtg @ 4.25% is $1700. Doesn't seem too unrealistic.

Get a $125k mortgage and you'll have more to spend

Depends on where you live.

I agree. I often wonder what I would do if I made less than $400k. #middleclass

Absolutely no need to spend $1200 on Christmas (in my humble opinion).

Agreed...that's too low. At least $400-500 a kid is good.

$1700 mortgage? You renting a basement apartment or something? Quadrulple that

If you're paying 1600 in taxes at 100k, you're doing something wrong

You're right. A family of 4 or 5 is going to pay a lot less than $1600 a month

Add in the $1200 you're saving as discretionary and you're doing fine

$1100/month for miscellany seems like plenty

Your list is still very plush. You could "easily" squeeze $1400 out of the list

$1,100/mo is a lot of discretionary income.

yes it is

False. 100k is more than enough.

I initially read that you had 1100/year left.

I have no idea how a family of 4/5 could live on less than $250,000 in Utah

Lots of people do it for much less.

Cable, Internet & cell phone could be $300/month

The problem is that you are 30 cents short on tithing
