Michelle, 42, Ryan, 43, return for a deep dive into their Conscious Spending Plan. They spend $763 a month on Target, $1,185 a month on Amazon, and $1,230 on groceries—carrying a fixed-costs percentage of 113%. Drastic changes are needed, but Michelle isn’t convinced anything can be done to save their outlook.
