Potential Joint Budget?

Posted by with 4 comments | in
Below is a potential Joint Budget for Jordan and I once we become debt free and are in a home of our own.  A lot of the numbers are guesses, but I believe they would be fairly close to this (like my income and a mortgage, for example).

I wanted to throw it out there to get thoughts from people who budget with more than one income in mind - do my numbers seem realistic/fair?


Although most of the budgets I post are based on a bi-weekly scenario, please keep in mind this would be a monthly budget :)

Thoughts?

    Looks pretty realistic, except for proprty taxes - I don't think your 1500 mortgage payment would cover them. Will J save for shiny things before you implement this budget???

    oh right! Property taxes.

    Before i update this, i'll wait and see if any other commenters have suggestions too.

    Would Jessie's and Jordon's fun include things like haircuts and spa appointments?

    @ Anon - I don't know about spa appointments - but defn. haircuts. It would include small gifts for friends/family - and any other day to day items that might come up.
