For those of you who don't mind.  I find that no matter what someone makes, it is all divied out
until everyone has a very similar amount left over each month.  Also, the variances in costs of living across the nation is astounding.  You can cut and paste to make it easier.  I put mine here in descending order:

Mortgage:............. $400
"Charity":...............    250
Investments:...........   140
Auto insurance:........   100 (2 cars, wife and I under 25 years)
Cell phone:..............   80
Power:...................    75
Cable/internet:.........     45
Water:...................     13
Gas:........................     8 summer, ~$100 winter
No car payment (thank God)
                                   ----------
Total:......................   ~$1,100
