I’m doing it on $9K. It’s tight and I live paycheck to paycheck. I am getting a second job. Housing/food/insurance are currently the most expensive. Next year education will be too. Thank goodness I’m done paying for childcare.

No. That wouldn’t even cover credit card bills.

Adding, I do contribute the max to Tsp and I don’t take vacations or go to restaurants.

Yes. Would buy a 2BR condo and have kids share a room.
