1000 for unforseen expenses is low...

What about health insurance costs?

Rent is too high - your rent should be a specific percentage of your income -- 900 is too high.. (i dont remember the percentage off the top of my head, but your rent should be a lot lower than it is based on your income)

3200 a year for car insurance? and you don't live in NJ? That also seems much too high, I'd get a cheaper to insure car, or get a beater that you don't need fire and theft on. (If that's what you are paying on a Camaro, it's because it's a sports car - -lose it - you are getting married, you don't need to pick up chicks

Renter's insurance is also high - When I lived in NYC, in not the greatest area, I only paid 175 a year - now I'm paying much less..

Shop around for better insurance.
