I was interested in your fixed expenses exercise and decided to try it myself. Obviously not all of us have the same expenses, but for me your list was missing a few basic costs: federal & state income taxes, internet and TV services, cell phone service, gasoline & car repairs, long term care insurance, and charitable giving. Just for consideration.

One factor making things harder today - the high cost of getting a bachelor's degree, even from an in-state, public university.
