Mortgage looks high -- unless they are trying to get rid of it quickly (fine) but if its just cause they got a huge house, maybe downgrade the house.
Cleaners eliminate or move to bi-weekly.
Get rid of cable. I use to have 220 for cable/internet/phone too but it was because I had one of the highest cable package... go basic cable if cable really needed for $25 (the new basic packages). Many of the premium channels (HGTV, Slice, etc) have websites where you can go watch episodes. Just get an $8 Netflix package.
After 2841 I assume 1500 for food, gas, misc...
If they are still saving $2000 or so a month with all of their expenses it's pretty good.
Looks like mortgage is really the big killer, sucks with the inflated house prices tho...almost 4000 eek. even if they could cut to about half or even 2500 to 3000 it would save up more cash
All these families are so lucky with low rates...
