This thread has taken some interesting turns, all far more entertaining than reading people lie about how much money they have

lol, still the same 3 assumptions

Ehh, not sure it's appropriate to post on the internet.

I will say that I read something a few months ago stating most Americans wouldn't be able to pay for a $1000 emergency, which is a bit alarming.

Some people are just terrible with money. My family grew up on the tighter side of budgets, so I was always a good saver. I mowed lawns and stuff at 10 years old and had enough to buy my first car at 16 and have kept saving/investing since.

I have friends who are married, and their dual income totals over 300 grand, yet they never seem to have any money. They drive older cars, live in a decent house but not a mansion, and yet they have finance problems. I work with people who are well into retirement age making 6 figure salaries and say they can't ever retire. Where does it all go?

It's not what you make - it's what you save.

300k - total salary
-37k - max 401k contribution for 2 people
- 80k tax (30% tax rate)
= 183k

Now expenses (annual):
- 50k mortgage (600-700k home)
- 15k property tax
- 10k car payments
- 10k vacations (family of 4)
- 12k groceries
- 20k school/activities for 2 kids
- 10k clothes
- 10k miscellaneous home items
- 20k student loans (graduate school?)

A few other expenses and you basically live paycheck to paycheck.

ewww - you think I would be driving a honda civic when I am making $300k!

Sorry kids you are going to public school - daddy needs a nicer car.

$30k a year on cars sounds better.

Exactly! It's all about what you can save.

Our compulsive retirement saving has us living "paycheck to paycheck", allowing us to put 50% of our combined income towards retirement. We can easily pause that at any moment should we encounter a serious disaster that requires more than what we keep on hand in savings at all times. Works well. Thankfully, in 20 years, we have never had an unforeseen bump that overran our savings account.
