After your expenses, you still have 28k (post tax $ per month) - 12 (added all your expenses) ~ 16k per month = 192k per annum. 192 - 38 - 15 = 139k still left after taxes, expenses, 401k, and 529. Isn't that a really huge number?

ya..usually $100K-$125K is the range of our savings. I don't it is really a huge amount of savings when earning over $500K.

it didn't look like an itemized list of every single expense he expects to pay over the year, just some of the big ticket items. he's not filing his taxes with his comment.
