breakfast is 3/4 cups oats, splash of skim milk and 1 scoop protein.
lunch is 8oz chicken breast, wrap, few craisins, squirt of balsamic glaze
dinner is 8oz grilled chicken, mixed veggies
yep, its the same thing monday through friday. it could be made a little more interesting without too much more expense.
i was just messin! it is pretty easy to keep meals simple and healthy and relatively cheap. i need to get back into it, i'm wasting tons of cash on lunch. i could never do chicken every night for dinner though!
I've seen some "My husband makes approximately $100k and we are struggling." statements on this forum and I am (actually, my wife is :-) wondering if we ourselves will be struggling or not when we move to NJ next year:
- 100k USD/year
- expect to be renting for max. 2k/month
- 2 person household, no kids
- would like to have to two (cheap/small/etc.) cars
I was thinking 100k would be ~ 70k after taxes. After 24k rent this would leave 46k or ~ 3800/month. We don't have an extravagant lifestyle.
Please tell me it should be possible to safe money with such an income, even in NJ :-).
Thanks,
paul.
You'll be fine.
Ooops didn't realize it was an old thread revived by spammer.
You should be fine as long as your not trying to live above your pay. Were a family of 5. My husband make 86k a year we bought a house and we pay 1245 a month for that, then oils 708 every 2-3mths to heat, cables expensive and thats 150, our cars with insurance go to 1000. We live just fine and do not struggle at all.
