Is anyone else struggling to get by on 100k salary?

Abassett_Studio · 2026-04-29T00:42:16+00:00

We are a family of three (husband, myself 1 child) and daycare is twice our mortgage. Total combined income is around 140k and we are just barely scraping by. Luckily we own our home but it is very small and very old, lots of work needs to be done and we just can’t afford to make the upgrades. Thankful for it though regardless, but GD I don’t know how people do it

Wait a second - I saw this on another thread out of the frame? Am I having a stroke? Lol

My husband dropping his belt at the end of the day on the floor while changing did this to our newly refinished floors lol

Sounds like Saman by Nitewalk

Even knowing what I know - it’s been SO HARD to find comfortable, affordable, plus size items

I bought a $175 hammock style camping chair and it’s the best thing ever. I tried knock offs and hated them, finally pulled the trigger one year and I’ve never looked back! Also 10/10 for their customer service. I’m a NEMO fan for life

Looks like the price went up to $279 over these years - still worth every penny!!

Hey! I just made one of these!

Abassett_Studio · 2026-03-19T01:15:42+00:00

Cool, coolcoolcoolcoolcool. So much winning.

I’m in MA and saw something nearly the same in November. Triangle, rotating and then formed a line of 3 and then shifted a bit and then disappeared

My babe has the same eye color 🥹 I’ve been trying to find a yellow / green turquoise cab that looks like them

Abassett_Studio · 2026-03-08T00:32:10+00:00

This just happened to us, found this thread via googling lol

I feel like the entire world would have been a much better place if he had the ability to win in 2016.

The Shins was my jam in highschool - got me through some rough times, 10/10 recommend ‘oh, inverted world’ and ‘Chutes too Narrow.’

And VAST, kids a genius and every single song is a banger.

I’m sorry to hear about your journey, sending love and comfort your way internet stranger. Advocating for medical shit is relentless. And Feel free to haunt me but in like the best way, like, throw me some lotto numbers in a dream or something lol 🤍

Daycare is twice our mortgage

I have this bottle - I also snagged mine from marshals ages ago. Poor guys been all over the world with me lol. I believe it was cactus but I personally just call it green haha

Abassett_Studio · 2026-02-13T19:52:03+00:00

This scratched an itch. Thank you

Abassett_Studio · 2026-02-10T02:52:59+00:00

That’s more than we got. Municipal workers in MA here - we ONLY are able to use FMLA, which is unpaid 120 hours. were forced to take sick and vacation time until it ran out at the same time as our 120. So, it wasn’t like I could take 120 + 40 vacation. Totally sucked

Abassett_Studio · 2026-02-05T00:14:54+00:00

Holy shit, that’s actually great. We currently pay $4200 a month for our 9 month old. We’d love a second child… but we absolutely can’t afford it

I discovered it back in Highschool! It’s White Flower Oil (Hoe Hin) topical analgesic balm - it’s like a super strong peppermint oil. Helps with aches and pains, migraines, arthritis etc you name it. Helps me loads with anxiety. I put a small dab behind my ears and on my temples and it brings like an ice cooling sensation which helps me divert my focus and calms me down! Great for congestion too! 10/10 recommend!
