    How a family spends away $500K per year

    Was that for me? If so i wasn't saying that i couldn't afford it. I was merely suggesting that making the move to the burbs while keeping my same job wouldn't necessarily save me anything out of pocket. I'd aim to have a similar or lower mortgage while adding on car cost and commuting cost...
