180 for phone, 500 for car. u wot m8

Unlimited plan with Iphone/Apple watch, best I could get in terms of speeds and coverage. I also put 0 down on the car, almost paid my last one off initially and someone hit me and totaled it, so I lost money on that.

JFL everyone on the misc is either making peasant wages or minimalistmaxxing. They say almost the entire country is paycheck to paycheck with less than 1k in savings but no one here so far seems like it.

cook and/or pick up your own food and cut that bill in half. take the $300/month savings and send it to VFIAX every month.

[lowstrife]

$1800 home
$100 various insurance
$150 utilities
$110 internets
$300 foodstuffs
$200 eating out
$30 phone
$50 gas
$100 misc subscriptions
$300 car is paid off but this is annualized maintenance\repairs

$500-2000 various activities\random spending of ****. Renting cars, guns, Amazon, etc, etc.

Typical month falls between $3500 and $5k. I make about $70\month by putting all the above (except home) through credit cards for cashback.

[Steveyblack]

-1600 rent
-225 utilities (gas/electric)
-800-1k food (3 people eating, including soaps/cleaners/ect)
-125 for car insurance (No car payments)
-100 internet
-400 student loan debt
-250 right into savings account (always done this as a rainy day fund, car repairs/maintenance usually come out of this account)
+750 from roommate for rent/util/food
+500 from wife as her contribution (I make 4x what she makes).

So my load for the whole household is 3250 or so a month but is offset to 2k a month between the roommates and Wifes contribution. This doesnt include any recreation in it at all so thats all extra. Im almost out of debt so I am excited to finally bolster the savings accounts further.
