You spend nearly as much on food as you do on your mortgage? Either your mortgage is very low or your food expenses are super high, or some of both
I bought the house four years ago as a single man with the mindset of “how little can I spend without being uncomfortable?” Instead of “how much house can I afford?”
Now that I’m married, we enjoy the low payment even more. It’s a quiet neighborhood in a decent area of town with lots of necessities within 1/4 mile.

Here is my spending breakout...this is percent of total spending 2018/2019 YTD. I haven't looked as percentages as a percent of take home.
RENT 26.4%
AUTO 17.6%
TRAVEL 14.1%
FOOD 12.2%
ENTERTAINMENT 8.8%
SHOPPING 7.0%
ATM CASH 2.7%
INTERNET & TV 2.5%
GIFT 2.3%
GAS 1.8%
FEES 1.3%
PERSONAL 1.2%
OTHER 1.1%
PHONE 0.8%
The travel figure is slightly higher than I expected but not shocked by it. That represents 8-10 trips of some sort annually.
Rent includes all utilities, insurance, fees, etc.
