[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I wouldn't give to have someone bringing in a 2nd income! Me: $47K Rent: $1500/mo 1 child, in school and aftercare: $300/mo Student loans: $90/mo Retirement: 5%/mo (employer matches up to that) No car. No debt (just paid it all off! $15K worth!) About $1000 in savings (contribute $200/mo). Anything extra I get goes straight to savings. Supposed to get $700/mo in child support and medical support. He pays about 40% of the time, so I don't count on it, just stick it in savings (I was putting it towards debt) when I do get it. Oh, I'm 27, no graduate degree (while a MA would be nice, there's just no room for it right now, time or budget-wise).[/quote] Wow, we're similar! It's rare that I see anyone on here in the same boat. Me: 65K Mortgage/condo fee: $1300/month Student Loan: $69/month Daycare: $750/month (used to be $1200!) Retirement: 10% plus 5% match and another $2500 to Roth IRA Car is paid off, still paying off massive credit card debt. Child starts school this year and aftercare is $200/month. Used to split daycare, but he's been laid off for months, so no child support recently. $1000 in savings and contributing $200/month. Used to be 5K a year ago. Will eventually pursue MS, but job has to pay for it. I'm 29.[/quote]
