Here's The Budget For A Family Of 6 Living On $59,000 A Year

I didn't think it was so heinous to be placed in the anti-mustachian forum. They do have a budget, they set aside a small amount for coffee. But $60/month in parking tickets, private school, and a lot of tithing.

a lot of tithing.

FYI, "tithe" literally means "tenth," as in, "one-tenth of your earnings." For those who believe in tithing, 10% is not "a lot" but rather exactly what is expected.

For me, the anti-mustachian parts are that they have a $925 mortgage but still somehow spent $1417 on "housing/utilities" ($500/month in utilities?!), and that their "other expenses," at almost $2000, is their biggest budgeting category. They need to break it out (that $740/month for private school belongs in it's own category, for example).

Also, is it just me or is it weird that they live in a "small city" in upstate New York, but apparently don't have off-street parking?

That is so sad. Definitely Dave Ramsey types.  I love their budget,  might as well put down just two categories. - house and everything else.
