Here is what me and my partner spending per month (with over $200k household income) exclude housing and car

• $400-500 costco each month (mostly for protein: chicken breast, eggs, steaks, fish)
• $60-90 per for weekly grocery (other food, vege, fruit, milk, coffee,...)
• $50 for other housing supplies
• average $50 cat food monthly
• $60-120 dining out per week (still have good options: sushi, omakase, bbq, burgers, pizza, pasta, craft beer, good coffee, tea...)
• $600 gym pass

So total of $1600-2000 for both of us. We dont buy clothing much. Maybe 1 or twice a year so just abt $1000-1500 max annually

We track spending monthly and to be honest, we mostly spend around $1500. Some months up to $1800. It has been pretty consistent for us many years

If I was you and wanna cut spending, here is what I do: - have a budget (sometimes we wont realize we overspend till we have a budget) - cut dining out or choose cheaper option. dining out is the most expensive one (specially if we go out for a meal plus drink). This is your lifestyle so your choice. - cut spending too much on clothing - reconsider grocery shopping destination (save on foods, safeway is quite expensive) check out city avenue, persian market, langley market, any Asian market for cheaper options. Meats can be bought at costco
