I think you guys are way high, of course it depends on your "wants".
My wife worked part time for the first 17 years we were married and I made about 40-60,000 each year. We've NEVER had a new car payment or a credit card bill so that's one way we make it fine. We eat out some, but we cook a lot too. I take snacks to work, never use the machine. Only payment we've had is the house payment and that's hard (but not impossible) to eliminate. We've never made over 90,000 a year and I have 3 kids. I don't WANT for anything, but I don't drive a 40,000 truck either.
