[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is an attorney and lost his job when the legal market tanked. Our mortgage is 2400 per month and day care is 1500(find me something cheaper I beg you. Does not exist). After saving for retirement and college and paying bills and groceries we have no discretionary money. I am just sad at my reality. I am fully aware it's fine but it's not at all what I imagined. Disappointment[/quote]\ How many years has it been since the salary drop? If more than 2, you need to get over it and move on. I do think your mortgage and daycare expenses are normal for this area. The next thing I would consider is how much you are paying for your cars. If you are carrying car payments, you need to consider selling the cars and dropping down to something used that you can afford to buy in cash. This will save you money every month.[/quote]
