MONTHLY:

No credit card debt so kid, house, utilities, 500k worth of life insurance, health insurance, 1 car payment, food, fun, etc. cost us about 4600 a month. So take away taxes and I have I dunno, a grand or so a month to invest, etc. Damn I need a new job.

Post by: GmanJoe on April 10, 2003, 05:14:19 AM: Good luck, Bob. I wanted to be a chef. But I heard the competition is FIERCE! Plus, the fear of the restaurant you could get into may not stay in business that long so that\'s another thing to stress over. So I got into computers. :)

I wimped out. I\'m a damn good house/backyard chef on the weekends though! :p

Post by: videoholic on April 10, 2003, 05:20:41 AM: A buddy of mine wants to be a chef. God I hate cooking. I wish I loved to cook because I love to eat. I guess I wish my wife was a chef. That would be the best.

Title: what\'s your money situation
Post by: Living-In-Clip on April 10, 2003, 10:37:27 AM: If I work just regular hours - no overtime..I work three days a week, bring home around 600 (after taxes) every two weeks. So, durin\' any month I can bring home 1,200 easy. I live at home - so my only bill is my car payment, which is almost $500 dollars.

I usually try to work at least three days of overtime in a month. That gives me plenty of extra spending money and I still end up with a lot of days off.. More so than most people who have 9 to 5 jobs.

Post by: CHIZZY on April 10, 2003, 12:26:01 PM: 30 years old, work in the precious metals industry..

about $45k a year, minus $325 truck payment, $645/ mo rent, - about 150 mo bills.. leaves..jack squat...

every so often I get year end bonuses... anywhere from $3300 (this year... :( ) to $12,750 (last 2 years..)

Wifey/GF just got a better job w/ another division of the company I work for, so money won\'t be tight anymore. She spent about 10 months out of the last 2 years not working, so no savings for me.

I live an extravagant lifestyle. :rolleyes:
