How much do you spend per month? (Including rent/mortgage(s), food, transportation, entertainment, etc.)
Haha 9,500 doesn't even cover a single mortgage. You may want to up your poll range.
Thanks for the feedback. A mortgage of $9,500 a month is a lot! Is that common you think?
Common in the bay absolutely. ~2m dollar houses are everywhere.
$1200 on rent and utilities (Boston), $250 on food, $150 student loan, assorted extras bringing it up to like $2500 a month. Take home $4700 after taxes, 401k, etc. Everything left just kinda funnels into savings naturally, I don't buy very many big things.
Nice! Seems like you’re pretty frugal. $250/m on food seems like not much — good for you 💪🏼
I don't have anything extra to add other than you have a very positive vibe that I'm enjoying, keep it up 👍
I end up saving 98% of my take home pay
Wow care to elaborate on any tips to get to your level? I’m nowhere close at 27%
Do you even pay rent
People who spend less than $1,500 total per month, can you please give some insight into how you manage to achieve these super low numbers? Curious 🤔
Was lucky to get a place in Bay Area for 500$ per month. Though commute is like 1h each way and gas cost 60$ per week. I do eat out pretty often so not saving money there, and I have a gf to maintain (gifts, vacations, etc)
$500? That is unreal, how did you find a place like that
Would love to hear as well. I’m considering moving out West too
2300 on rent, utilities etc, 500 on Uber eats, food, groceries, 200 on public transport, sometimes Uber/Lyft. Total ~3k. Location NYC. Take home is 8k after tax and maxing out 401k.
Nice! I’m at $3.5k in DC. Problem is I love going out 🥘
No vacation/ appliances/ subs/ bills?
$30K/month
Wow impressive! I imagine you have several mortgages?
On what?!
220 on apartment maintenance, 200 on food for two, 200 on generic stuff. Company has a free cafeteria for lunch and also provides my train pass. I live a frugal middle class life.
Is there no mortgage or rent on the apartment? Just a maintenance cost?
400 square foot starter apartment that I own outright. Cost 150k, which was three times my salary when I bought it.
Gaussian I believe in you!
Care to elaborate for the people who aren’t that create in maths, like myself? 🤣
The responses roughly follow a Gaussian (a.k.a. normal) distribution
