I’ll have to look at My own numbers but your house and groceries relative to your mortgage look quite high. Also Car payments as a function of mortgage. It might be that you have chosen to live in a smaller house or have a smaller mortgage relative to other expenses then I do and that is throwing my perception out of whack.
As for places to save.
I think Car Payments is a choice between 0,1 or 2 payments. That is probably the easiest place to reduce cost. You can drive for 25 cents per km or 80 cents per km and get the same level of reliability and get the same places.
Drive less - depending on vehicular chosen you will save at least 15 cents per km you don’t drive. So reducing 100k / week saves $1500 easily. Depends on how much you drive but cutting this number by 20% should be relatively easy
Your house number is high so this is likely things you are choosing to do and not have to do so if I was looking to cut expenses I would limit it only to necessary rather than cosmetic or function upgrades.
Restaurants and Fast food consume 4% of your budget. You could look to cut here.
I’d probably look at building your spending up against what you have available as opposed to looking to cut from your current lifestyle.
