I figured it simply like this which isn't really living large so to speak...
rent/mortgage: 2-3k a month
utilities: 300ish
phone: 100-200ish
car + insurance + gas etc: 1-1.5k
food entertainment etc: 500-1k
cc bills, taxes, misc shit: 1k
biz expenses: 300-1k
health insurance, dental, vision: 500 & up
got kids? school costs, toys, clothes, other crizap: 500 & up
all tolled, not counting the occasionall emergency, ie tranny fell out of the car, kid needs to go to camp, or the neverending stream of holiday, b-day present events (figure another 100-2k on that a month) and this is where anything under 75k a year
"can" be a struggle :/
I miss the many years ago, of no car payments (paid cash for my pimp 70' monte carlo)...girlfriends that paid their way...no kids...no big cc bills...housing & other shit could keep wicked low as it was just where I kept my shit....
those were the days...
now the challenge is simply to make more without putting in 18-20 hour days

well my expenses would go like this:
rent:$500 my room in a swank ass pimp pad in Silverlake(near Hollywood in LA)..this is a whole house with a jucuzzi and bar,total rent is 2100
bill:my part $75 a month
car payments: none,i own my ride,a toyota echo,its not a beamer or nothing but its reliable.
cell bill: $35 for 1000 minutes unlimited nites and weekends
drugs and drinks: $200 a month,thats a average,who knows what my bar tabs are looking like this month..
food:$150 a month, i know thats not alot but i shop smart,im a jew for christs sake,i watch every nickel and dime.
fine vagine: $50 a month, my dating life is not that busy,but when it is, i make a girl dinner at my house,saves money and its closer to the bed.
TOTAL :$1010
so even if i make $2100 a month,which i dont, i'm still rolling ...
