How is it even possible to spend that much money on "basic needs"? If your rent is 10k and you spend $250 a day on food, that still comes to less than half of your after tax takehome. That leaves you with 20k to burn after food and housing. Id be really interested to see a breakdown on that. Throw in 5k / month on vehicles. You now have 15k after food housing and transportation. Are you really spending that much on child care and insurance? I have a feeling this person is really saying that they are only saving 20k a month but thats not a lot to them.
