$350 shoes, multiple video games, out to eat a few times, Lego sets, $100 at the candy store, clothes.
This is what the OPs husband spent it on
I live in Texas (no state tax), have 2 kids, and make about 40k a year. I don't claim any exceptions for payroll taxes so my tax returns are usually 10-12k after the earned income credit.
Why wouldn’t you adjust your withholding rate ?
Because I prefer to get a lump sum of money once per year than extra income each month. I take that money and I put half into an emergency fund and the other half goes into an account for my kids that I use to pay for summer camp, field trips, extra curriculars, Christmas & bday presents, etc.
Why yes waiting a year to get 25% of my income makes sense.
By not planning properly. They are making mistakes all over the financial board most likely

One MacBook pro. My wife and I bought two of them this year... Quick way to blow $6k
You see a lot of weird comments like this in a sub talking about poverty. Bunch of responses justifying Apple product after.

For the first time we have exclusive pictures of the inside of the Catherine Crackhouse. This is @ArielTroster's idea of "affordable housing". #Ottawa @OttawaBylaw @_MarkSutcliffe pic.twitter.com/Q5AZQJEtSX

475 Catherine street in ottawa is a crackhouse that is condemned and flooded with sewage. Currently the city pays for electricity so that the residents can keep the lights on
A year ago it was a Bike chop shop

About 9 months ago it was condemned but the city did nothing because crackheads still lived there and we can't make crackheads homeless

8 months ago it was involved in a drug war -
There are multiple other posts about it too.

I'm there right now lol. The house has been declared condemned by the City and has been seized by the bank because the landlord who made millions selling mask and other protective equipment on Government contracts has dissolved his company and ran off.
The house is also half filled with raw sewage in the basement.
Ariel Troster has no interest in cleaning it up is what I've been told she's been sending the social workers and we keep booting them out of the parking lot. The police have been there numerous times because of overdoses two people died last week.
Send the social workers to help
Too lazy to quote more, go find your own funny comments.

I’ve never heard of “deferred” interest. I had $1500 left to pay on the balance when they charged me $2400 on interest.

The unemployment ran out. Sold stuff. Feels like I'm set back about five years.
I hate the new job btw, they want me to work like a W2 employee but classify me as a contractor (I put in 65 hours last week, only paid for 40). Obv no healthcare.
Still in tech, and I didn't save as much as I should have but I've only ever made decent money for a little over two years in my entire adult life. Prior to that I think I maybe cleared 50k. When I hit six figures I finally traveled and enjoyed things.
Looks like that was the peak of my existence and now I feel like an old frick. If I didn't have supportive people in my life I wouldn't still be in it.
There's no point to this post other than I finally felt like I was living the life I imagined I would have back when I was an early 20s grindset jockey, and for what? Two years of a good life?
I threw away a lot of youth and not peepeeing around or enjoying my 20s because I thought that's what I needed to do to make my 30s easy. It didn't matter.
Maybe some of you have it figured out. I for fricking sure don't.
You learned the a hard important rule of having money. Make sure you pay the house (your savings). Saving 20k on 200k salary is hilariously terrible.
You're not wrong, I think I was increasingly challenging myself on how much shit I could buy. The work was stressful and I thought I had hit the lottery.
Definitely didn't realize how good I had it until it was gone.
