$2700 for misc. expenses every month is the main problem I see. My household obviously make less money than your household does, but that number just seems unusually high. Maybe you should audit yourself and find out if all those expenses are truly necessary, and if something could be cut out or reduced. I would say (by your definition) that I spend maybe $500 in this category, and maybe $800 on food for the 2 of us and my 15 year old football player.
Maybe try to buy store brands and eat leftovers. That $4 coffee and Danish every morning, and buying whatever interests you on "shopping" trips is where it's all going.
