Mortgage > student loans > car > daycare.

"Rent" as in I pay mommy to live at home. Don't have to, but feel obligated. I don't pay much, so don't think I'm actually proud of myself.

rent > groceries > utilities (specifically, cable > gas/electric > phone > warcraft = netflix) > gas

College tuition payments

Health Insurance.

No shit. Not having group coverage available from a job, IF my wife & I had health insurance, it would cost as much as or more than our monthly mortgage payment...

I don't consider a mortgage an expense, it's a loan.

But about 350-400 bucks a month in gasoline kinda hurts.

Thinking of your mortgage as just a loan is a bit overly optimistic, don't ya think? I know that my condo would need to more than double in price over the next 25 years in order to make all of the interest payments that I made worthwhile. At this point, it's down over 30% in value. Sure... that will eventually recover, but by how much?

How knows... maybe I'll eventually make a profit on this place, or maybe my neighborhood will turn to shit and my unit will be worthless 10 years from now. Kind of hard to know at this point.

Even if it's paid on your behalf by your employer, it is still many peoples biggest expense......
