If this was you, what would you do? What would you cut to balance this budget?

I would probably be moving. That seems like the easiest place to flex that makes a difference

I’m not sure how big this family is but food is so expensive once you go beyond one mouth 😅

How much is too much to spend on groceries?

The USDA does produce a monthly reference point for this. They’ve created 4 different food plans that represent a well rounded diet: thrifty, low, moderate, and liberal cost, and provide updated data monthly as to how much it costs to follow those plans, per person in household 

Pictured is the latest report — January’s totals reported on in February. Thrifty is in its own table

I found this chart the other day that lists out the avg cost per person by budget and was upset. Like fam of 4 gets you to $1k and you’re not even eating that good/on the “liberal” budget plan 🥲

it’s sooooo crazy, i only have one kid but now that’s he’s in pre teen era i’m like damn dawg u eating 💰FOR REAL💰

Could be a family of 3 or 4 with one kid still in daycare.

A 2BR at that rent would be realistic…

City living with transport only 200

Moving could be rough when location is tied to employment.

Glad we are older and got in on a mortgage a decade ago…
