So the husband works part time, and pays barely anything in child support. Make better decisions?
Knowing my tastes, the things I want out of life, the future I want for my children I planned for my future.
Here's some things that pop out at me as bizarre. $62,000 in student loans. To make 40k per year. You fucking kidding me? How is that even possible. I have 2 degrees. The most recent one I graduated with was about 6 years ago. These people are far older than myself, so safe assumption the went to school before I did unless they had their first kid at 13.
Both of my degrees combined cost 40k. I worked part time during the school year (25ish hours) and full time internships during the summer. When I was done, I had 2k in debt. I have NO CLUE how the fuck you rack up 62k of student debt in Canada. Going to Harvard and paying out of pocket? Sure, I get it. One 4 year degree, and one 2 year diploma?
Going to school in Canada to work a salaried job that's paying you 30 to 40k a year max? Holy fucking shit.
These people just plain make stupid fucking choices.
Also, someone from the east coast chime in on their power and gas bill, which they say is over $760 a month. My combined gas and electric bill in Winnipeg is $120 to $180 a month depending on time of year.
They pay rent, but bought a mobile home. Sounds like a great fucking decision.
These people didn't work at all while going to school, and if they did they spent ALL OF IT on things other than school. Then even though they didn't have to work, and just focus on studying, they come out of it making a combined 63k a year. My first job out of school paid more. 6 years later and it's closing in on 150k. That's exactly why you don't study something fucking retarded.
power and gas bill,. We're about 150/month for power , 4 bedroom home with a 1 bedroom apt in my basement , heat and lights included, ( two fridges two stoves , deep freeze, washer and dryer dishwasher etc) . And my furnace oil is about 600/month in the winter months for oil heat, but I've also got 4000 sq/ft to heat
So for this article, either they’re full of shit for the power bill, or they live in a house built before 1900 that has zero insulation. Since they’re renting, it’s way easier to move to something that has some form of insulation. Hell, their travel trailer that they shouldn’t have bought is going to be more economical to live in.
I work for a large agricultural biotech company is about as specific as I'd like to get.
Salary is about 125k this year, free truck, don't pay for gas, no car insurance, they pay for my internet, and I put 5% towards RRSPs and they put 10%, full health insurance, etc. I'd ball park my total compensation package at around 150k. I did move multiple times for this company, and worked a ton of internships thoughout school to get there, but I was also a slightly older student.
All in all, I'd say it worked out. I have buddies who work trades, and started their own small companies that they put extra hours into, and they make about on par with me.
Nothing wrong with 100-120k, and if you're decent with your money and invest you can always find different revenue streams. I'm sure you can find something to add to that down the road.
