Yea that came across shitty.

I meant the extra money is put towards entertainment. Whether that's going to the zoo or a movie or whatever.

I dont need any extra entertainment, but the rest of the family does.

I will say the only reason we keep it so low is because 1) we dont eat out for lunch at all, dinner very rarely 2) we dont drink hardly at all anymore, 3) our foods are basic. We cook fresh vegetables/canned veggies and the meat is whatever is on sale.

It's boring but it works. We are young and decided we would put more into housing so our kid could be in a great school district, retirement can be maxed etc.
