Amazing how little $$$ it takes to live in America

just to give an example of some of my bills:

internet $20
cell service ~$10
phone ~$2-3 (paid $100 will use 2-3 years)
house payment $0
water bill ~$55
power bill ~$100
car payment $0
personal clothing ~$100/year
house insurance ~$60
property tax ~$130

that's less than $400/month plus some other stuff but you get the idea.

No A/C.

Also, he said car payments are non-existent because he has truck payments.

Please also note how he has no expenses listed for providing for his daughter or his daughter's mom ( who is not his wife and works full time ).

I am not sure I would call not being able to take care of one's own family, and depending on extended family to do so, winning...

But that's just me.

Does Jesus advocate for having your daughter be provided for by her mom, and her extended family, instead of the you?

How much do you spend per month on food for your children? Or do you make your wife cover that too?

food is the one luxury i don't even keep up with spending for. eating out/family time (the driving there...sitting there) is something i've been accustomed to since childhood. i type this as i sit at thorneys/myrtle beach having ate a rack of ribs and deciding if i want the cheesecake or to go get ice cream after we leave.
