Correct. We have $1300 a month coming off the top just for health insurance. Sure we probably spend 600-700 a month on entertainment and maybe another couple hundred a month on stuff for the kids that comes up. I guess $4,000 note on $200k gross could be done if you don’t have hobbies or like to eat out or basically enjoy anything in life other than paying a house note. All the little incidentals of life add up quick with kids. All these clubs etc not to mention the unexpected expenses of home ownership.

I would wager most trying to live the middle class suburbia lifestyle are in debt up to their eyeballs and struggling with 6 figure household incomes. It’s totally possible to be poor and yet surrounded by nice shite.
