Well you have a lot of expenses. Own the house but property taxes are high ($4800/year is pretty steep), you don't own the car (payments on that)...You have a kid. Doesn't take long to add up. Also as someone else said, the more you have the more you spend.
no mortgage, kid in good public school, I have over 5k expenses a month

#37I'm at $3k/mo with mortgage, wife, and 2 year old. It sucks, but it can be done. Hell, mortgage and health insurance is half of my 3k budget. You just gotta cut out all non-essentials...I could shave $2k off your budget easily. I started doing manual labor all day every day on the weekends to make ends meet. Hard ass work, but I look it like I'm getting paid to be in the best shape of my life. Although it pays cash, so if I get hurt in the job I'm essentially screwed.. And a lot of guys who do what im doing get hurt, so im watching my back every second.
I know several people who have faked a back injury at work and gotten away with it......Comment -

Have a big grassy area front and back so I cannot do much about watering issues homie.
We don't get much rain in L.A. if you hadn't known either.

#46Cant knock it if your making it but dont make comments like **** the 1% when you can get a job at any cable/ satelite provider any call center or any corporate manufacturer and make 40,000 a year without any education or experience. But if you want to make 10k a year and say **** the 1% go ahead. I hope your in school furthering your education atleast.*Comment -
