[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We only include our base salaries in any budgeting / fixed costs (like mortgage car nanny etc). Any variable comp like RSUs, commissions, etc go into savings and we pull a small amount for bougie vacations (we love to travel). Pros of this is we save a ton. Cons are we definitely live WAY below our “on paper” comp because the variable comp can be a lot. [/quote]

This is good advice -OP

I find it is hard to apply bc DH’s is sort of 100% commission. 
By contract it’s base+commission, but in 4 years (his whole employment at this particular place) he has never relied on base.

The base is so low/barely livable. 
The next best number would be lowest check in the last 12 months.

Say this is 10k.. the issue is he **usually** (eleven times out of twelve) exceeds it by 2-3k. So even thinking about it as 10k, is not going to be the reality.

It’s a figure somewhere between (again, hypothetical) 10k-13k. Plus mine are all over. I can be between $0 and $2k+.

I know I’m only stating problems, I have a solution but want someone to talk me through it. I’ll post below. [/quote]
