650 rent
395 for monthly bills
458 to Roth IRA
320 for groceries
160 for gas

Leaves about 900-1000 going to savings each month.

32, married with 2 kids, so I'll combine numbers

Income = 9,500 net
car notes/insurance/gas = 1,950
Mortgage + utilities = 2,100
Daycare = 650 (dropping this in a few months)
Groceries = 500
Eating out = 350
Savings = 1200 minimum plus any leftovers
401K = 750 plus company match
IRA = max at end of year usually
Wife has state retirement benefits but I have also started her a roth

Our vehicles are expensive and we eat out too much which really needs to change if we want to save more.

We have the goal of building/buying a new house in the next 3 years.
