I have a question. You said you're working two jobs and money is really tight. I understand that divorce is expensive and you have child support to pay. But are there other factors causing money to be so tight? I mean, just having another adult in the household isn't all that expensive on its own.
Also, is there anything you can do to up your income or reduce your expenses?
Great point! Wolf, I can't overstate how much difference truly focusing on my expenses has made. I hated looking at them before, because it felt like carrying a pitcher full of rainwater with so many small holes in the bottom of the pitcher it would eventually empty no matter how much it rained. Each time a new leak sprung it was an existential crisis. But, working at plugging holes daily, only the new surprise holes leak anymore, and soon I expect to be collecting water again.
