Hmm. My word is not preloaded with Black Chancery. Am I a racist?
Hmm.. neither is mine at work. I remember using it a long time ago and liking it, though.

Does ChexSystems combine pulls?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

How much does a average Jewish family say 4 kids in midwood flatbush NYC area have to make to live comfortably, say yeshiva/beis yaakov for 4, mortgage on (average 1m) house, property tax, insurance, average car, kosher food, and lets not forget pesach, etc?

80 - 100k but it is only a guess based on a non-Jewish family being 60 - 80k.
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

Are you counting in 4 kids in private school (some scholarship usually available if you cant afford it fully though)? Plus food is more expensive and you can be looking at spending minimum 2-3k extra for food on the holidays.
And then the jewish paraphernalia you need to buy...
I'm not who you think I am.

I am basing it on a non-Jewish family with 4 kids. Have no idea on much more for a Jewish family and that is why I said it was a guess.

An extra 2-3k on a holiday? I am not going to use the word rip-off but ...

You can just about make it on 80-100 for 4 kids paying Lakewood tuition and 1,400 rent.

With a 500k mortgage you need 125+

For a 1m mortgage and brklyn tuition I would say Min 180k

$140k.  Not from experience . But from talking with freinds in the general NY jewish neighborhoods . & that number is basically making it with not much thrills. If you wanna talk comfortable which means your not throwing nasty lines at your wife for her pomegranate supermarket bill, 2 nice cars , 2 vacations a year , making your own Yomim tovim etc... breakdown would prob be something like :
60k annual mortgage +
48k tuition
20k vacations (two)
25k groceries
20k in cars and insurance
And the list goes on to health insurance, miscellaneous expenses like clothing, Shaitel etc....

Comfy $250k.  By comfy I mean no stress in living comfy
80 - 100k but it is only a guess based on a non-Jewish family being 60 - 80k.
Non jewish is not comparable at all

I would say 140k would get you by on half that mortgage - approx 36k a year.
Back of napkin math - after tax your at (approx) 110. Take off 48 for tution your = 62k. Thats approx 5k a month a 500k mortgage with property tax and home insurance would be approx 3,000. Leaves you with about 2k a month for food, car, insurance and misc. Not much room for comfort...

500k mortgage means you put down alot. 2k a month for food, car, and the rest is impossible to keep to.
Napkin math: 4 kids means a minivan, so if lucky car and insurance is 400 a mo. (Slightly less if you buy an old one), insurance for the family (deff takes off a chunk). at least $500 (almost forsure more) a mo. in food, way more on sukkos and pesach.
