You forgot health/life insurance premiums or HSA contributions. And what was it I said in my original post? Just over 1k? Glad we agree.
I would agree with a 100k salary translating to around ~1k of extra $ per month. The number can fluctuate depending on the month and how frugal you live obviously.
ETA Assuming no kids

I was about to give you the nod and say that you were correct, but I decided to go back and see what I originally said. Nice play on switching my words.
What I originally said
quote:
That easily affords you a 250k mortgage, a nice car, spending money, and putting away a few thousand a month.
Then what you claimed I said
quote:
see if you have "a few thousand" to spend like you seemed to think.
So in my scenario that I last gave... I already put away 1k. Would not be hard to find another 1k to "Put away" like I claimed.
Lower car note as I think $450 is way more than a nice car. Or no student loans as most La residents took advantage of Tops.
Could easily get another 2-300 right there.

Add in eating out and entertainment, clothes, and a few other things a month and you're lucky to actually put $500/month in savings....enough for one nice vacation a year.
It's awful easy to look at $100k on paper and think you can't spend it all up, but it goes much faster and easier than you think...
