$1100 Mort./Ins.
$800 vehicles and car insurance
About $400 for everything else (cellphones, electric, internet, pretty sure we don't have cable I don't watch tv so don't even know)

Food not really sure

It's a good situation that hopefully will be getting even better as we are doing a refi that will payoff both cars plus $35k in cash. Since we will no longer have the PMI from the FHA loan after the payment will be the same.

Basically that gives me an extra $600/month for extra savings and cash to do some more things.

Car payment bout $400
Insurance on 2 snowmobiles, 2 ATVs, waverunner, boats, 2 vehicles and house is about $300
no power, water, sewer, or any other bullchit HOA or otther fees.
I put every cent over and above gas money into the line of credit. Not much left owing, and that is the remainder of the house. In 8 months when that is gone, I will pay off the car in another few months and be debt free. Wife pays for food, and puts money into LOC

Then start saving to build another house.

Health insurance for 2, $1300.
Truck payment $800. That will be paid off this year.
Utilities, cable and wifi at 23 rental properties.
Everything else is pretty trivial after that.
There is a gas well on my property, so I don't have to pay for natural gas.

Business expense: ~$20k

It was probably easier when I was younger but mostly rented apartments with a buddy or 2. If I had to do it over I would have bought at least a small house and just rented to them. That's what I'd recommend if you can do it. Even if you have a close friend, sibling or cousin (whatever but not a chick you aren't married to) and both go in the mortgage. Sign some simple agreement with a lawyer for when someone is ready to go out.

No phone bill (bro takes care of family plan), no insurance (same), no mortgage (paid off), no car payment (paid off and sold expensive toys). Bro pays for bundled family stuff to save everyone money. I pay it forward by paying for dinners and outings.. Also help take care of my parents IF they need it.

Basically all my earnings are to myself. Every last penny.

Small brick and motor retail. No employees, and I work 7 days a week. Planning to hire an employee in the next few months as I've been working almost everyday for 1 year and 8 months, and starting to feel tired lol.

Good for you man. Srs. Sucks about the hours though. You try to expand online?

Lol, feels. Longest time I've had off in almost 6 years was the 10 days they made me stay home due to covid.

Maybe someday. I'm only doing brick and motor because that's all I know. Luckily, my niche is one where it will always thrive in a retail location (if done correctly).

If I were to meet someone who could help me get that going, I would probably seriously look into it. I do live in Hawaii though, so my hunch is retail does a lot better here than in the mainland. (shipping to Hawaii takes a lot longer than on the mainland, obviously)

$1800 mortgage
$300 utilities
$500 car
$100 insurance
$50 cell phone
$50 subscriptions
$200 gas
$550 gym memberships
$500 groceries
$500 eating out
$1000 random chit from Amazon

$5,550 / month not bad

Rough estimate. Also invest around $2-3,000/month, depending on how much chit I get from Amazon.

Not sure really, I live within my means.

Rent- 550
Bills- 150
Gym/Subscriptions- 40?
Insurance comes out of check
Gaming- 50 a month give or take to put in pokemon go or psn store
Food- 200 a week? Not counting take out

Hardly go out anymore so that helps lol, still don't spend much unless in the strip joints
Supplements- depends but don't really budget them, can spend 300 then not spend for 4 months

Gotta enjoy life, all that money is gone as soon as you are
