You see the math problem here, average expenses are more than $1000 a month than average gross income without paying taxes.

    Family of four here. We had $3,500 a month in expenses a year ago. No housing or car payments here helps a lot. We actually probably spend less now since both kids are off to college and their college 529 fund supports them 9 months out of a year. We easily save more than 50% of our income.

    For a family of 6 making less than $59,000 we keep things buttoned up. Our mortgage including taxes and insurance is $835 a month. We spend $400-$500 a month on food including specialty items to account for food allergies in our home. Transportation including insurance, gas, and matinence fund is $3,900 a year for an average of $325 per month. Insurance (health and dental) is $760 a month and my husband gets his free from his job so it's just the kids and I. His retirement accounts are automatically taken out so I'm not sure how much it is because it's before we get the check. We spend around $50 a month for entertainment and use the library for books. $300 for diapers and wipes. $75 for misc. $0 for apparel and services. Sinking funds for birthdays, Christmas, pet medical and dental, travel, ect is $200. We pay $600 upfront for the year on phones and it's been great.

My father in-law and brother in-law are going hunting and will bring back deer and wild hog. They typically come bag with one per each of our families. I get my eggs for free from my mom and before she raised chickens I traded homemade goods for eggs. Even my milk is local and I make my own butter from it. Most months I only need around $300, but we budget $500 on the off chance we need to buy milk, eggs, cream, ect from the grocery store.

    As someone who makes about $65K a year in gross, these numbers don't make any sense. Is the $60k a year on average in net? Or is this just including household incomes of well over $100k? All I know is I'd be in the negative after the first 3 categories and my gross is about average, unless the average is going off of net. Or Taylor Swift and Warran Buffet are skewing these numbers.

      @Financialwiz4567 17 дней назад

      I don't follow the comment of gross vs net?
      I believe she was taking average per capita income of 59k and then giving average household expenses. So most households have two earners which would place income over 100k on average.
      There is no reason a single individual would be anywhere close to $800 in food per month, is there? We use $15 /day or $450.00 per person and have lots of money to return to our surplus from that level. $800 sounds about right to me for a household of two. Transportation was way up there as well, so I'm guessing two vehicles? Housing sounded about right, but not if your home is paid off.

      @OHIO-EXPLORATION Well... it's average... so once you get that definition down, it's the average personal income, not household. The expenses, though, are per household. The average spending won't add up to the average income because that's not how that works. Yes, the income is gross average.

    Buckle your seatbelt, the following is a true story. I am a retired California Highway Patrol Officer. Before the housing crisis, I was assigned as an undercover detective to a drug task force. I did not return to the CHP for five years, but I did return mid housing crisis. When I became a detective, cops drove Toyotas, Fords and Honda’s. I will never forget my first day back at the CHP. The parking lot was filled with BMW’s, Corvette’s and a few Porsche’s. It truly appeared like an asset forfeiture lot filled with vehicles used by drug dealers. Shortly thereafter, I discovered many CHP Officers were facing repossession of their $800k+ dollar homes. Because the CHP paid a minimum of 4 hours, at time and a half to attend traffic court, I discovered numerous cops were writing, what I refer to as bogus tickets. I will briefly describe a scheme. The speed limit was 65, traffic moves at 75+, but there is always one person that drives 70 in the middle lane, getting passed on both sides. Officers would write that individual a speeding ticket knowing the individual would take it to court. After all, the violator was speeding and it is a maximum speed limit. The driver always had the same story, they were driving 70, but being passed on both sides. However, because they exceeded 65, it was always, “guilty can you pay today.” Cop shows up to traffic court for 5 minutes of testimony and at that time, cop earned about $500. Okay one more. Truck drivers need a license to pay bills. In California the maximum speed a truck can drive is 55. Officers would sit on a downhill grade shooting Lidar allowing 90 MPH cars go by, but zing a trucker for 62 MPH. 98% of truckers subscribe to various traffic attorney programs. Truck drivers always plead not guilty hoping the cop is too busy to attend court. Cop shows up in court, collects $500, goes home. The cops did not violate the law, but they did use it to make money. Many today make, including OT, $250k+ per year. Where else can a person with a GED make that kind of money? No, I couldn’t rat anyone out, if I did, I would not receive cover.

      $59k avg salary isn't what you would use for this. You would use median household income.
      2023 Median Household Income in the US was $80,610.

    With just my husband and I, and being totally debt free, we pay $640 (rounded up) a month for utilities. Water, gas, sewer, electric, trash pick up, wifi, Verizon, and car/home insurance. We use credit cards for other expenses and they are all paid off before we get the invoices. We are retired and travel very little. Our income places us in the lower middle class, so being debt free is the best. We own our vehicles, home, and property. I don't know how we would make it if we had to pay for vehicles, and rent/mortgage. We pay nothing for entertainment, outside of wifi. We do not eat out. We buy a full butchered steer every 18months to 2 years. Everything per family will be significantly different, so I don't see how the numbers on the data can even be average. To me, there is no average when it comes to finances.

    I'm kind of curious to know why no dental insurance, and why you'd prefer to pay out of pocket for that. Cleanings are at least $125 each without insurance. I know it's not necessary to have, but seems a bit odd to not have it. Dental isn't really that high of a cost.

    You're choosing to spend more than you need to. Your alls spending is out of control. Your 2k+ rent is more than all of my monthly expenses combined. That includes travel & fun. Your food bill would feed me for nearly 4 months.
    I like nice things like everyone else. But i don't like paying ridiculous amounts when you have options. Sure..im slower at getting things than you probably are. Im more patient and wait for deals. People mistake wants for needs. I want a new lens for my camera. I don't need a new lens. I can afford to wait. And my inner child that wants it now can just be patient. I waited 3 years for that lens and hot a great deal on it. Break down what you need vs what you want. Its ok to want it. But all wants are luxury.

    There’s no way the average American spends $850 a month on food. I think the people who took the poll thought that just meant groceries. Because you see how many fast food and restaurants are out there packed. People probably spend $850 on groceries monthly and about $500-$1000 a month on eating out.

    • @dking1362

      Per person?! Not where I live. I live alone and don't need to worry about costs; I spend about half that ($400) monthly on groceries and eat out (on average) once a week, so figure $100-150. I do agree that eating out seems to be a jar form of entertainment and that restaurants always seem packed.

So, if you are a single person with a 59k income, or two people each earning about 29.5k each, either way, the household income is 59k.

    Rachel, where are the details on the income is this one income from one person or from everybody living in the home? How many bodies are living in the home One or five? Each mouth in the home cost money. My wife and I retired over age 65 living on social security. Our annual budget for health is $13,000 a year, this includes Medicare, supplemental and dental premiums, doctor's visits, prescription drugs. I'm not certain where you come up with your averages. Perhaps someone who is healthier and younger. Most of the 30 to 40-year-olds rarely cook at home and their food cost must be astronomical including the delivery charges that they have. Charts are needed with facts. I hope I get you to understand.

    Frankly, this was just confusing. Comparing one individual salary to household costs is unhelpful. Personally, I fit that average salary - but in a single-person household. As a single person, comparing my household expenses to others' isn't apples to apples - after all, a $2k mortgage from my single salary is a hugely different percentage of my income as compared to a 2-income home; likewise, comparing my household food budget to one with 5 or more people gives neither of us much helpful info. Too many variables to be of any use.

    Are these all average individual figures? Medium would be more meaningful than average. And are you talking about Americans as in adults? $832 per person per month on food sounds like a lot; for a family of four that would be ~$2500/month. Are you sure you're not mixing per person and per family figures?

      We’re a family of four and spend $1000 a month. That being said we eat dinner at my parents house 1-2x weekly and we rarely eat out. Our kids are young so I’m sure it will go up.

      @SarahTemperance 17 дней назад +1

      It would be insane if it were per person, in my opinion. Food brings satisfaction for such a limited amount of time :( My husband and I were spending $1,000/mo on groceries and take-out for half the year until I started budgeting. Now, we spend $700 or less. We try to make affordable meals though. My lunch today was leftovers from 3 days ago. Chicken (baked in a $1 marinade) with mashed potatoes and green beans. Totals $3.80 per meal.

    I make just above that average salary, just under 61k. My housing is my cheapest expense at 300 (soon to be 400) since I live with my folks and help them around the house. My transportation is my major expense at a payment of 1,176 and insurance just over 400. I decided I could splurge on a car, and my interest is low at 0.9%. But even with that, I'm still below the total amount spent for the average American and can put so much more aside for investments.

      A lot of people live on the coast so that skews the average way up. Our $300k house in Vt. (a 5 minute walk from Lake Champlain) would be about $3M in LA. Location, location, location, as they say.

    Why/how does anyone subscribe or listen to Rachel. She’s a rich kid who never had to deal with anything she talks about. It completely goes against the brand her father built. He went bankrupt and built a fortune on his own, that’s why people listen to him. In the name meritocracy destroy her “career”, she is in no way qualified to talk about any of this. It’s such a slap in the face
