No feeding five grown men isn’t the same as feeding a family of 5 but it does nothing to disprove the point at hand

This is not hard

$3195 x 2 = monthly take home $6390.00

- $2,400.00 Mortgage - Escrow with Taxes/Insurance
- $1,000.00 car loans/maintenance
- $550.00 Car Insurance
- $300.00 Electric
- $250.00 TV< INTERNET, Subscriptions etc
- $600.00 kids (daycare, school )
- $450.00 random debt

Leaves $840.00 "a month" for food and entertainment, ain't nobody getting rich on that



Saw this earlier:

quote:

In the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, the Upgraded Points team determined that a single adult with no kids needs to earn just over $107,000 annually. Two adults without kids need a combined salary of $138,000, while two adults with one child need $184,000. A family of five needs $265,000.
Yet most area residents earn nowhere near those thresholds.

My brother in Christ my grocery run wouldn’t feed my family of 5 at all. It’s barely anything there

It only worked because we had TWO FULL MEALS already prepared

Well I’m getting $200 going off of Walmart prices of name brand items and the amount of what I would eat x5 and I’m bigger than average.

You don’t provide the amounts you bought for all the items. Can you do that? You say cheese? Well how much then? As an example.

Maybe that’s the reason for the $80 discrepancy?

This is about on par. When good daycare is $1750 per month and an upper middle class home in the suburbs is $800k you’d need at least that $265k per year to make it work

I don’t know. I had to guess to come up with a price. I said I chose what I would eat x5. I’m just wondering why the $80 discrepancy?
