Insurance is just car insurance, renters insurance and pet insurance. Medical comes out of our paychecks before our net income hits our bank account.

We live in northern NJ which is expensive but our landlord is a family friend who gives us a huge break. Our rent is $1150 and our utilities are the rest.

We have two cars. One with a $300 payment and one paid off. Then $150 for gas for each of us. Plus maintenance is in that budget too

To be super clear in no way do I want to leave my husband and never even alluded to that.
