Or lives in an expensive area. $2000 for a mortgage is normal here-you won't find much for less than that, at least not anywhere you would want to live. $1200 was 2 car payments.Who pays 1200 a month on a car payment?
Unless you can afford that, just get a cheaper car for fucks sake.
there are cheaper options that are totally fine, functional cars.
Ditto for 2k mortgage payments
I don’t care how many kids you got. You don’t need a McMansion
Anyone, any family, anywhere in America that isn’t downtown Manhattan or Malibu beach or somewhere ridiculous like that can live comfortably on 120k a year. Period. End of discussion.
Anyone struggling at 120k a year is a fucking moron
$1200 car payment was explicitly 2 cars. $2000 mortgage is nothing unusual. $600 utilities are high but nothing remarkable in aome areas.Who the hell is paying $600 per month on utilities and $1200 on food?
$300 per week on food??? Does this person have no insulation in their house or do they live in the Taj Majal, living way above their means?
Are you going to the dentist monthly? Maybe brush your teeth regularly, would be my advice.
Leaky pipes? that might be a once per year type of issue. Not monthly.
I change my oil for $20 + $4 for the filter. Takes 20 minutes. And certainly not monthly.
Why do you have a $1200 per month car payment? Unless it's multiple vehicles, that's excessive. But someone making $150k maybe feels like they should be driving a new BMW. Meh. I have no use for status and bragging and showing off. But some people need it.
Insurance and daycare can be expensive. So I won't quibble with those. But a $2000 mortgage payment each month is either a really high interest rate or, again, living above your means. Unless you have a 15-year loan. Then I could see a high mortgage payment.
