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

Not if you had a large enough down payment.

Do you have health problems?

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

Mikey

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

$1100/month for miscellany seems like plenty

Forgot to factor government subsidizing programs & sports figurines into budget

impossible to live a certain standard, yes

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

phillidius

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

kccougar

6/23/14 5:37pm

yes it is

charles

6/23/14 5:39pm

agree, pretty cushy IMO

YnotU

6/23/14 6:00pm

False. 100k is more than enough.

6/23/14 5:40pm

I initially read that you had 1100/year left.

Ha! If you made more you wouldn't drive a 3 series or have that little boat

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

The Joneses

6/23/14 5:41pm

Lots of people do it for much less.

lightmann

we do it just fine and are quite happy

Where are your utilities? Add $300/month

Hang10

6/23/14 6:44pm

i wonder if he has a phone, internet, tv, etc.

OmahaThunderCoug

6/23/14 8:12pm

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

Hang10

6/23/14 9:37pm

it sure could be. what about heating, AC, electricity, water, then? just

OmahaThunderCoug

6/23/14 10:18pm

The problem is that you are 30 cents short on tithing

6/23/14 6:46pm

only 1100 per month left over? the horror!

LiveCoug

6/23/14 6:47pm

Pay tithing on Net, just gave you $160 more per month - you're welcome!
