Where do you live? If you have kids 50k is barely enough to survive on instant ramen in the US.

    Would rather not say. If politics come to a head in the US, I want a basic level of anonymity. Depending how things go, we might see ICE doing a Pretti Good to many voting Democrats.


    Anyhow, I don't have to pay for utilities and housing, just my food, fuel, phone, internet, and the things that make life decent. I am VERY lucky for what I have. Kids are definitely not something that I would ever consider having.

    I can cut down on the food budget and go full ramen if I wanted to improve my savings, but I do like my vices of meat and such. About $500 for this month's Costco* shopping bill...but half of the meat is bought by other household members. I cook the food, and split the cost of supplies between us.

    *$5 off per package for this stuff is a recurring deal. It is quite good, it comes pre-sliced and in two sealed packets.
