Tell me about it. After healthcare and day care goes out at source, I earn a whopping three figure a month salary. That's partly because all the deduction come out of my pay check so my wifes is untouched. We get slightly more money that way for some wierd reason, but all the same, my pay check is depressing.
People here have talked about the price of car payments and gas, food etc but if you're in the middle class sqeaze like we are, those aren't the problem, it's the big non-negotiable things that are the problem,
Healthcare: $1200 a month
Daycare: $1600 a month
Rent: $1100 a month
Those three alone come to more than my salary. It's a good job my wife also works.
