The $1700 mortgage is a place where cuts could be made.

$295k mtg @ 4.25% is $1700. Doesn't seem too unrealistic.

Get a $125k mortgage and you'll have more to spend

I agree. I often wonder what I would do if I made less than $400k. #middleclass

Absolutely no need to spend $1200 on Christmas (in my humble opinion).

Agreed...that's too low. At least $400-500 a kid is good.

If you're paying 1600 in taxes at 100k, you're doing something wrong

You're right. A family of 4 or 5 is going to pay a lot less than $1600 a month

Add in the $1200 you're saving as discretionary and you're doing fine

$1100/month for miscellany seems like plenty

Your list is still very plush. You could "easily" squeeze $1400 out of the list

$1,100/mo is a lot of discretionary income.

I have no idea how a family of 4/5 could live on less than $250,000 in Utah
