Tuition assistance

200 minus taxes 142k minus:
School: $20,000
Mortgage: $22,000
Car payments: $28,000
Car insurance: $5,000
Groceries: $26,000
Utilities: $9,840

31k left and that goes towards gas, clothing, repairs, medical, school fundraisers, extra activities (sports etc). Do you think that's living beyond means? I barely have enough to buy myself clothes etc. It adds up pretty quickly.

Happy to see your breakdowns.

You have an absurdly high car note. Literally more than your house lol

That’s a year’s tuition in one month on cars.

My kids are in private school and I drive a 13 year old car that I bought brand new. I have not made a car payment since then, 13 years ago.

No wonder you ladies can't afford anything. You are paying $28k/year just in car payments.
