    Kyle and Linda are earning together $32,000+$48,000=$80,000. Their monthly expenses are $3,500, which is yearly $3,500*12=$42,000. Plus they contribute 15% of their earnings to a retirement, that is: (15/100) * $32,000 + (15/100) * $48,000=$4,800+$7,200=$12,000. At the end, they have $80,000 - $42,000-$12,000=$26,000. So, their net cash flow is positive and their plan for managing income is ok. They are also prepared for emergencies. With their savings and 15% contribution the have a good plan for retirement. The only thing that felts is a life insurance on Linda, so they can protect their assets.
