$12,000 a month, three kids, and I know the cost of berries. I don't need an explanation. 😂

All sounds super reasonable except groceries. We have 3 kids under 6 as well and an au pair who lives with us, but our budget is closer to $2000 a month

Do your kids a favor and move to NoVA, Nor/SoCal, or a big city. Really isolating growing up in the Florida as the only 1-2 Asian kids in class.

Crazy how it all adds up. Nothing seems unreasonable individually then you’re somehow at over $10k🫠

cut the skyline chili, completely, not for financial reasons but because it's gross

Economic Cockroach :
Makes sense honestly, good chunk of thing you could cut back on if needed, but if you have the means why not.

my husband makes about the same..we have four kids - we also live in Ohio. I swear 12k is the amount needed to just live with fairly little stress. but I still budget and track every expense.

SAHM in Dayton, 3 kids 4 and under. Our output including donations, investing, and all expenses is about 6,500 a month. Why is your water $100? Ours is $25 a month. Also preschool 1400 a month?? My son is in preschool and it’s 1600 for the whole year!

it's all reasonable. problem is wages aren't growing at the same pace as expenses are

Unless it just wasn’t listed……why are you paying for someone else’s child to go to college yet not investing into a 529 for your own?

sounds reasonable to me. these will probably be your most expensive years unless you pay out of pocket for college. just gotta keep your head above water and enjoy these years with young kids as much as you can. sounds like you are using money to make your life better!

I love that you’re helping someone get through college. It is a lot per month, but it should be only a few years. Some people would give money to those less fortunate no matter how much they have, and some never will. I think from these comments you can see who is who.

Can you elaborate on how you have 2 vehicles insured (one being a 2026 Honda) at just $120/mo? That seems like a point nobody is talking about!

$1,300 a month on food isn’t making sense. Kids don’t eat that much
