Very hard with a family + kids on a single income.
You can save but not that amount.
I think 1,800 - 2,000$ is more realistic on an FO salary.
Hello from CYYZ

I was really hoping to put 3,500 away. If that's not doable not sure i can be convinced by myself. Dont know why I would assume its manageable tho?? Yes I'm aware of the going out life. Its the same everywhere. But at a salary of 7,000k usd (lets use this number to be conservative) you would think after a car payment, insurance, gas, bla bla bla bla you could count on that everywhere month???

Fellow Pilots, thanks for all this amazing information. Please keep in coming. You guys are awesome.
