[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make 90k pretax. [b]Single parent[/b], 1 kid. It’s not enough and it’s frustrating. I remember the days I dreamed of making this much and now it just covers necessities. [/quote]

I found your problem.[/quote]
Not nice. I'm a single parent with 1.5 kids. The half is going to community college in September and getting a job. Not really a kid anymore.
The problem is not being a single parent, but rather lack of personal finance skill, medical problems, or something else.
My ex shopped day and night. The minute I left him, my net worth skyrocketed.
Managing money finally, I invested myself into financial freedom. I don't work for money anymore, and that's the ultimate American Dream for me. Well, EU Dream also. Finance degree may have helped. Not sure.
No way in hell is my kid going to 4-year college right away even though I have the money. The Dream is to pay less, not more. 
My kids' financial freedom is my dream. We are working on it now.
No private school for my kids. It's the private school's dream to have my kids. Specially the younger one.
No house for me. I'm a single parent and feel safe and sound in my condo building, not in a house. The few time I had to watch my sister's rottweiler in her house, I dragged the dog in the same room with me.
I'm pretty sure the wives will tell my boys what house to buy and where. They better come with money to match their Dreams.[/quote]
