[QUOTE="H D, post: 956618, member: 68494"] I don't want to be average. My idea of the average person is the sea of debt and weeks away from financial destruction that seems to be, well, average. Did the unions prevent that for any of the employees that lost their jobs? I was "making it" on my own, using your exact definition since I did have all those things, making $11.65/hr part time. I am making it now, even though as you correctly pointed out, not alone, but we're still operating under $30k as a couple. We pay cash for all those things you mention and still have some left over blow money, usually about $100 a month to do whatever we please with. And that is $100 that goes to whatever category we have already allotted money to, which does include food, clothing, entertainment, etc. And we're still putting somewhere between $500-$1000/month toward debt. A few months of savings is already taken care of. And the best news, I just had an interview this morning. The job is mine if I take it. It pays much, much, much better. Well beyond double, we'll say. That is IF I take it, though. The overall income isn't as important as my main short term goals right now which are a successful first year of marriage, finish graduate school, pay down debt. The money will come. I have to make some tough decisions. Good news is, its NOT UNION!:bwahaha::cheeky: [/QUOTE]
