This couple is making half a million dollars, and yet they still feel like they're falling behind. They're maxing out their retirement accounts, putting $500 away per month for their kids' college expenses, and live in a state with a 5% income tax.

There's a chance they're living above their means when it comes to consumer spending. They spend $6K per month on credit cards, spending $150 per week on groceries, $300 per week on eating out, $120 per week on gas, $200 a week on shopping, $1500 per month on flights and hotels, $100 per week on diapers, and $300 a month on health bills.

All of that, coupled with a $6K monthly mortgage, it's no wonder they feel like they're throwing money away.
