Her utilities are higher than my 3 bedroom house's. Phone bill is a bit high, Internet bill is double what it should be, property tax and insurance are high, haircuts, cosmetics, shopping all could be reduced. The cat bill is ridiculous, unless those are some sick pets with long term illnesses or she has about 30 normal ones.
Bottom line is that is not the budget of someone who's "Struggling" in life. Struggling would be not having the money to do half the things on that budget.
Thanks for informing the group that you’re out of touch and don’t know what you’re talking about.
Whatever, I'm the one who's out of touch but I have a very good budget and all my bills are paid. Do you own a house? Because I do and I manage all the household bills and I do know how to make ends meet on a budget.
You are free to ignore my info at your own risk.
Do you own that on the mentioned vet's salary?
I bought it when I was making about $40k salary actually
