CornHolio posted:Hi, my name's CornHolio, pleased to meet you! I never really got why you received so much flak for a bad but not horrible budget (although your attitude contributed greatly). This is a horrible budget due to so many expenses that can easily be reduced and they still live like a low income family who won a small lottery. The op last year spend more on groceries and lovely restaurants then a lot of people pay rent. Heck I usually eat lunches for $10-15 and I can't figure out how you spent over $10K on food + groceries. How full is your trash? Do you throw a lot of food away? Grocery $6,690 $558 Restaurant $3,693 $308 Entertainment $5,982 $498 Misc $4,942 $412 Gifts $4,208 $351 Vacation $1,913 $159 ------------- Total $27,428 That's 43% of your total income that can easily be reduced. Heck you could save up, pay off the the credit cards, and have a better and more affordable lifestyle than you do now. edit: $75 for cable? Do you really need all those channels since you already have internet for $40 and pay so much for "entertainment"? I hope it's for hookers and cocaine otherwise, why do you need to spend $6,000 a year on entertainment? quote:6/6/09 Grocery publix $54.99 What is this? Do you still have these receipts? Why did you spend $289 on groceries in the period of a week? quote:6/1/09 Restaurant duffys $18.37 Talk about a sugar high... what is wrong with water?

This loving thread... he's in a hole, not child-up-for-adoption hole. Long term, your choice is either to sell the condo and move to a cheaper apartment in the $500 range or GET A loving JOB (another part time or full time) unless you intend to rack up credit card bills on MLM in the next few years and be forced into a $300 apartment. zaurg posted:Grocery $350 Total: $900 If you can reduce this by half ($450), it would make you a lot less retarded. $350 would be even better but one step at a time. It doesn't matter where, either stop shopping for junk food at Whole Foods or cut everything else out and get a prepaid phone.

three posted:Perhaps you missed the part where he'll probably be 80k+ in non-discharge-able student debt so his retarded wife can get a useless associates degree from Devry. Or where he is working as a PIZZA DELIVERY BOY.... Unless his wife continues the clueless trophy wife role (she better be hot) and gets a BS at Devry (BS couldn't be more appropriate here) he currently has $40,000 of student debt and that is very roughly $450/month.

zaurg posted:OH. So then 100% of my Mcdonalds income goes toward daycare, then I go deliver pizza at night. I guess the idea being I would advance up towards Management at Mcdonalds and make more money and get better benefits. Or you work nights and weekends and you and your wife take turns caring for the baby?
