OP rudely deleted her thread, but it shows up in pullpush here: https://undelete.pullpush.io/r/MoneyDiariesACTIVE/comments/1c0tynd/in_the_red_on_150k_a_year_help_me_get_my_head_out/
Her "partner" (male) quit their job in November so now they're trying to survive on $150k a year (and failing). OP is too long to post but interesting line items:
rent 2,500
storage unit 108
Renting a two bedroom and still needing a storage unit
cellphones 148 2 lines. Will go down to 100 when phones are paid off in a few months. I don't have a line for my Apple Watch or iPad so there's that at least lol
Financing cell phones and still getting completely screwed on the phone lines.
daycare 1,980 This is very cheap for the area! Stopping this to have partner watch baby is an option, but we'd lose our slot and have to scramble when he finds a job
The daycare grift strikes again
car 400 Car is paid off but somehow still expensive. Gas, tolls (family out of state), parking, registration, etc. I drive to the office
donations 783 Not a religious thing. Just us trying to do some good. Open to questions/suggestions
travel 500
gifts 250
If my math is right that puts me at -$1631 a month.
To be fair, I'm guessing the travel and gifts are some kind of "we're planning on spending this the whole year" and not actually spending that each month. Still, nearly 6 months in and no changes at all.
