I live somewhere much lower cost of living than San Francisco, but $400 in gas doesn't seem outrageous. I spent ~$90 on gas in May on my Honda Accord alone and I work from home, plus gas is under $4/gal here. That's not counting whatever my wife spent on her car who drives a whole lot more than me. Could also see "children's lessons" creeping up that high in places like San Francisco as well. It's easily $120-150/month for us per child per activity which may only cover 2 nights a week. We let our 2 kids pick one thing whether it's tennis, tae-kwon-do, etc. Luckily my kids don't need any extra tutoring either.
