  1. It’d be nice to know what your 2nd/3rd largest group is – what fits under “Other”?

  2. Where is child care included? Given the percentage of cost for young families, that should be a separate item

  3. I’d be curious to see the median, spending costs can get so skewed

  4. Too much in “other.”

    Also, surprised at how high housing is for 55-74.

  6. I expect it’s because we are in home buying range. It’s more expensive than renting, but stops going up. So ad we get older, our housing costs will go down compared to the new buyers.

  7. The highest average spending on housing is less than $3000? I question that

  8. If “other” is the second to largest amount it needs to be delineated further

  9. I’m 36, and proud to say Im as frugal as an unemployed 21 yo fresh out of college

  10. What under 25yo is spending 4k a month? Even couples that age, i doubt are spending that much.

    Am i just poor?

  11. This really is beautiful. Nice work. Seeing the healthcare cost rise steadily is perfect

  12. Holding the 35+ crowd down at 1200$ a month. 675$ rent, 300 in groceries +personal products, about 100 in gas, and 100 in car insurance. Maybe I’ll get a 25$ game this month to even out the budget.

    Haven’t been to a restaurant except to celebrate something since 2019. I guess I’ll die if I get sick. Education? I pay 6$ a month for YouTube red, and I can read. Paying someone to give you credentials is a scam, if you want to learn how to do something there are tons of free resources. What corporate America does is gatekeep with college degrees.
