<prompt> Human: Im married with 3 kids and trying to cut our spending. I consider myself to be pretty frugal. I cant remember the last toy that I actually bought for myself. I feel like 99 of what I spend money on, I dont really have a choice about. According to Mint, we are regularly spending about 4,500 per month and sometimes more if theres a large home repair or unexpected expense. I feel like 4,500 is a huge amount, especially when I feel that we live a simple and frugal life. Here is our budget. Any place that I am really going wrong? 1,200 - Mortgage 500 - Day Care 500 - Groceries 100 - Eating out 315 - Car Payment 300 - Utilities Gas, Water, Electric 250 - Gas for 2 cars 200 - Shopping clothes, baby supplies, etc. 200 - Preschool 115 - 2 iPhones Half of this gets reimbursed 100 - Internet Cable TV 100 - Vacation savings 100 - Car insurance 2 cars 100 - Home maintenance 50 - Entertainment movie, bowling, etc. 50 - Dog care 20 - Gym membership  <response>: You have 100 for eating out, 100 for internet and cable tv, and then 50 more for entertainment. I would say thats a 250 total entertainment budget and thats an easy target for reduction, since its actually all about entertainment...I also am guessing that the 200 shopping budget could be cut as well.
