Wife and I are both 42 with a 14 yr old. In the 20 years I’ve been with my wife (15 of those being married) we’ve never had to work extra jobs to get by and that was even when we just got married and our son was born. We were both making collectively 70k total around that time. Granted that was 15 years ago when things were cheaper. Now we’re both salary and I only do 40 hrs a week (maybe a few more if it’s busy) and the wife is WFH. She wasn’t always wfh but we made it work with child care and what not. We live a comfortable life but again I know everyone’s circumstances are different and not here to fault anyone for that

I work two jobs just to get by single, in my 20s and 30s. It's nothing new. I still don't buy a lot of new things. Never had a car less than 10 years old. End up buying house built in 1946 needing lots of work. Still does...

For families who are working extra hours or side hustles right now, what's hitting your budget the hardest groceries, housing, childcare, or something else? 🤍

Groceries are definitely the most expensive. Me and my husband have always both worked. When the kids were smaller we worked opposite schedules and were together on the weekends. No one missed the kids childhood. You can get a part time to help when your hubby is home it’ll help a ton girl 🥰
