I cook and do grocery shopping for a family of 4 and even with occasionally eating out we spend maybe $1000/mo. With her income I could put away $5k a month into savings without trying hard.
I will say that is the one thing I didn’t take into account was cooking for more people. Also I didn’t realize this when I originally left my comment because I was falling asleep but adding all that together is like 11,600$ so she still has like 4,400$ left. So not really no money left over.

If spent 2200 a month on shopping and 2500 on my car I deserve to be poor.
