I've got a job for her

[klyph]

Oh you work in the prison system? In that case kill yourself.

I doubt you wrote this to be funny but I loled

[klyph]

I'm never serious unless I'm joking.

strange....i'm trying to get our finances squared away so I can tell my wife to quit her fucking job....

You're coming from the other side of the fence, though.  Grass is always greener and such.

Both of you guys have evinced similar fiscal woes... compare notes, and whatever you have in common, stop doing it?

[colt45]

not working the corner, but you can always make vids of her finger blasting herself.

Actually, financially my wife and I are doing great. I just want to make sure we would still be doing great if she quit her job.

Look, you whined about your budget being tight when you drove a 4mpg status symbol to and from work, and I imagine you two went out all the time.  I figured you took one eight of the advice in that thread and felt like you were hood rich, because you onviously found your niche, work hard, and make money.

Despite that you're the sort of guy who'd drive a 4.3 metric ton piece of shit, complain about money being tight, and not see the problem being you bleed $10 bills out of a thousand tiny orifices because you only recognize the 3-6 "big" bills you have.  Climb down here into the world of self-sufficiency and I guarantee anyone who could drive an H2 to and from work mid-recession could provide for his family solo if he fucking opened his eyes and used his brain for thirty seconds.

I see a lot of talented guys with their head up their ass.  You're one of them.

[Passenger]

Sounds like op needs to man up and do a better job providing, your wife has her hands full raisIng your kid. She is doing the woman part of the relationship, you need to do the man part, if you want her to do the man part too she will likely done a strap on and pound your ass relentlessly. Just think, you could be the eny of Jay and NA mike.

JD, I'd hate to see what some of these folks would do if they were REALLY in the need.

Cleaning up a local pizza buffet at closing only to get the scraps everyone (including mexicans) else left behind.

I fucking hate spinach alfredo pizza, but I wasn't hungry.

[Joseph Davis]

Probably puss out and cry for Obama to save them?

I grew up hungry and didn't care for it at all.  I always cook whole foods, and large meals at that.  My kid is a 5'8" 120lb string bean, but she eats more by herself than Robb and his wife put together.  I'm not going hungry ever again and neither will my family.

[97Econobox]

Teh Lulz.

You just need to man up dude.  My wife doesn't work and i don't make a whole lot. She clips coupons and finds out who will double coupons locally and we usually save 25-40 bucks minimum on groceries. Find the shit you don't need to buy, i now drink cheap ass piss water beer cause its better than no beer and if i want weed i find shit to sell or land side jobs.  If it is a side job i usually overshoot what i need.  In other words if my bag is 60 i try to at least get 100 so im putting something in my pocket.

Never allow yourself to get to a point where you are paycheck to paycheck.  I have tools and enough skill to repair the things i break on a car so the 06 Pilot with a 320 a month payment got put on craigslist.  Why? Cause i want to save 300 a month, we never had an issue making any bills.

The thing i notice most with people who are tight on money is that they are reluctant to come to terms with how much they actually make and refuse to make sacrifices to live within their means.  all the little shit adds up, you have a land line? kill it.  use coupons get in that groove and you'd be surprised how much it adds up.

Eat out much? don't order sodas, get water and be realistic about where you want to go. we eat out maybe once a week or so depending but we don't go to BoneFish either.

for about a year i rocked a Mortgage, 300 a month car payment, a 2 year old and a stay at home wife all on less than 55k a year.  Also put Coil overs, adapters, wheels and tires on my Fantabulous gaybar this summer.  I paid 45 bucks out of pocket for it due to wheelin and dealin and slingin parts.

You can do this.  Man up grab your sack and make it happen.

[97Econobox]

lol@ bleeding 10 bucks out of every orrifice.  that is exactly what im talking about. a pack of smokes and a monster every morning will crush your wallet.

I buy coffee at Costco and take a cup to work.  i spend like 7 bucks a month or some shit on that after a coupon.  Drink it like a man.  Black hot and in a cup.

That exactly how I do it, make my coffee at work with a walmart $6 special coffee pot and using office supplied filtered water.

Buy bags of apples for snacks at work.

Go home and eat lunch (5-10min away)

Went from spending $30-$40/wk on Mini Mart shit $0/wk

Use the money I save to pay off my loans faster.

Hah surprisingly enough, there's some decent advice mixed in this thread. I've been fucking broke as a joke for the last couple years, since I got out of tech school actually... Funny how that works. Anyways, I know one of the hardest things to do at first was cut daily spending. You don't need a kitkat bar and a red bull every day. Drink fucking water, it's better for you. And I mean tap water, not the shit bottled they charge you to pollute the fucking earth with. Go to the dollar store once a week, you may be surprised the kinds of every-day things they have there for 50% of safeways and such (hot sauce, ketchup, corned beef hash, vienna sausages). If you live a ways from everywhere like I do, plan your trips in to town carefully, instead of running around every which direction like a damn decapitated turkey. Short of that, mooch off friends and family members, or one of ya'll needs a night job - better practice your pole dancing skillz.

Tell me where and consider it done. And when the fuck do I get rid of the verification that I can never read...?

[dvst8r]

Make a new thread, or threadjack this one, or ect...

No idea on the verification thing.

.... Actually, I don't give a fuck if anyone cares. I care goddamnit.

[MTZ]

Things i did to cut $ last month just cause

#1 get rid of cars that owe (i just sold my s2000 for an eg and the only reason i wont sell the truck is      because i dont want my wife driving in MT winters without a reliable 4x4)    $380 (with insurance)

#2 get rid of fucking internet on your cellphone, i just downgraded both my wifes and my phone (from a whopping 200 to 80 + taxes its a special verizon plan for loyal customers that fits my needs 550 shared min and unlimited txt)   saved $100

#3 no more netflix dvd just stream $9

#4 downgrade TV Package (TIP sometimes canceling you current and switching to a new provider or swapping the account to the wifes on your current will let you on some awesome discounts that you dont qualify for) saved $20

#5 budgeted my outside meals so now i know how many times i am willing to eat out, not that i woudnt eat out if i wanted to but it helps to keep you in check. Saved about $25

#6 got a part time at sears. Making $ on my time off since there isnt shit to do here in the winter (selling fucking kids cloth but who cares) Making about $120-200 every 2 weeks since i dont work that often

TOTAL = at least 654 dollar savings and that was just cause i was tired of living paycheck to paycheck wife still working and i am still in the military making decent $

i have to pay off a credit card and truck loan thats just a total of= 8500 and i wont have any "debt"

JD + econobox speak crazy truth here.

Reducing your cable & phone bills is cash in your pocket.
If you've got 2 kids, you should be shopping at costco already. if not, get a membership asap, but stay away from the prepared stuff.
Having your girl watch for things on CL/kijiji/the flyers that sake cash is huge. Whether it's a car that you can spend a few hours fixing and she can sell the next week, or an in demand item that you can stock up on and flip, it's all cash in the bank...

Waitressing/bartending could be just the ticket for her. we had a whole range of chicas (married/single, old/jailbait) all working with the common thing being that they looked hot in black and could figure out how to smile and take customer orders. Depending on how good of a knobber they gave the manager, this got them an easy $10-13/hour, plus $120-200 a night in tips.
Even if your girl only worked a few nights a week, she could easily pull in an extra grand or 2 a month to help out with things.
We had girls working 4 mights a week pulling in $50k because they had perky tits and and could give decent service.

you manage?

you manage?

Not quite. Prep, stock and cook, then get trashed with the owner/managers/girls after work.

The only real expense I have for fun is streaming Netflix, and I bought mw3 but that's for my bday in a couple days. Internet is required. No land line already. Cells are only $100 a month. We don't have a Costco or SAMs club around here so that doesn't work. We cook every night instead of going out. I have an hour round trip ride to work and back, about 70 miles total every day. She has picked up watching two kids at $15 a day, but it's not an every day thing. I buy maybe two six packs of beer a month. My vice is smoking. Been trying to quit for a while now, that will save another $45 a month in smokes.
