And didn't they have another car payment? I thought I remembered that from the hearing. Going out to eat all the time, seeing movies with friends, etc...that stuff adds up fast. Add rent, car insurance, daycare, gas, cell phone bills, food, utilities....all the other things...they were probably living very, very tightly.
I tried to explain that early on. Those condos rent for $1150 a month. ( at least the 2 bedrooms listed do) *now, I don't know about 2 years ago.
Monthly notes on 2cars
Insurance on 2 cars
2 cells, internet, cable TV and a sports package I AM SURE!
The electric and gas for a condo built in 1982 may be quite pricey. * I think there is a site that tells what the bills run here in GA.
I'd guess around $400/mo
The $800/mo daycare...
Healthy/nutritious food is pricier than junk and
RH apparently ate out a lot and that adds up FAST!
Chic fil a is expensive! So is a sub from Publix! I have no idea what they ordered.
I'd bet he spends at least $300/no on eating out breakfast and lunch...
Don't forget diapers and baby things...
Also remember that he carries the insurance so that and the daycare are probably deducted from his paycheck before he gets it.
I bet he was unhappy at home depot because after taxes,daycare and insurance his take home pay was barely enough to pay all the bills (or wasn't enough ) and he didn't have any play money left.
Hence the $4000 credit card.
