Please. I call troll post.[/quote]

Please stop with the troll accusations. This is so clearly not a troll post.[/quote]

Okay, here are OP's numbers.

Rent		 3,000.00 
Phone/Internet/Cable		 400.00 
Auto Ins 		 250.00 
Hair		 80.00 
Auto Gasoline		 200.00 
Food/Groceries		 1,000.00 
Car Payment		 1,300.00 
Credit Card Loan         305.00 
Day Care		 400.00 
School Loans		 125.00 
Travel to Work		 100.00
Cleaning                     150.00 
Activities for Child        335.00

I plugged this in my budget and it show's we still have almost $1900 left over at the end of the month. This is AFTER taxes, health, dental, vision, TSP deductions etc. Oh, and this is on a salary of 197k per year. 
Someone has a gambling or drug addiction if they can't manage those numbers on 230k per year even if you don't account for an extra "$800" bucks a month for incidentals.

but you don't know what her take home is because you don't know her insurance costs, they have two employees making this so double the SS/FICA costs you do, and as we said before, this is not a complete budget. She hasn't even gotten a paycheck yet at the 230k increase.  It only started 2 weeks ago. Comparing apples to oranges to kick OP when she is down is not helpful. [/quote]
