How much money does a average 4 person family spend a year?

Question

Just curious

Answer 1

The answer is difficult because of so many variables.  I would estimate that the average 4-person family living in the United States would spend approximately $48,000 annually.

That's $4,000 per month for mortgage or rent, insurance, groceries, property & income tax, utilities, car payment(s), gasoline, clothing, education, entertainment and incidentals.

Once again, this is only an average.  Some families will spend considerably more, others considerably less.
