Answer:
Dave and Anna:
1. Income highlight:
combined take home pay of $900/week
Total income: 4(900) - because 4 weeks in most months = $3600
-----------------------------
2. Expense highlights:
bi-weekly mortgage of $675
property taxes of $1800
Car expenses $160
Car insurance: $128
House insurance: $35
Saving for kids: $200
-------------
Expense calculations:
Mortgage bi-weekly = 675 x 2 = $1350/month
Property taxes = 1800/12 months/year = 150/month
everything else is already monthly
1350 + 150 + 160 + 128 + 35 + 200 = 2,023
---------------------------------------
income - expenses
$3600 - 2023 = $1,577 surplus
