Everything else goes to savings.

2k/month before any savings or retirement contributions
$4k mortgage, just sold my car so no pmt, ~$200 utilities, a lot on groceries... Idk my husband pays the bills and I'm on his insurance 🤣 rest would include our main car ($400), car ins, cell phones. Oh and a million in loans (last year we were paying $3k monthly).
Hope that was as not helpful as it seems.
Around $6,500/month with no kids. We rotate expenses each month.

Averaged at $6,100 per month in 2020. DINKs here. Includes following
Rent (almost 50%) Groceries, Uber eats (was a massive expense in 2020) and All utilities - internet, rent, subscriptions, phones, electricity, everything.
We did this entire exercise on Sunday. Thank goodness we had mint to easily manage and calculate this.
What we learned from this exercise.
Groceries delivered to home vs groceries pick up not a lot of difference in spending. Actually saves a lot of time if delivered.
Tesla is awesome ($0 in gas and no additional electricity because we rent an apartment and they have some standard slots there)
We spent almost $11-12K on Amazon (lot of shopping, whole foods, coffee pods, and don't random grocery items). That's a big chunk of you think about it.
10-12K month (dual income + 2 kids)
