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!

- 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.
