I think I found this chart on Dave Ramsey’s website. Does it resonate with your family budget?
Our major differences:
Mortgage - 40% (we couldn’t pass up our house, we love it)
Food - 20% - 25% (our worst vice)
We either hit the target or spend less in every other category, so that’s a relief. What about you? Do you think any of these categories should be higher or lower than they are? I noticed childcare isn’t in there (I am a SAHM, but I know that’s a huge piece of the pie for double income families).
