Just curious to get some feedback here. My wife and I have a combined income of about $200k before taxes and have one child with another due in the Fall. Up until this year we’ve maintained decent savings but as of Jan 2025 we’ve really begun to feel a squeeze on our financials. We’ll be fine I think as I have a decent stack of physical silver (and by eliminating non-essential spending we’ll recoup some monthly funds) but I genuinely hope we’ll be feeling some relief soon.
How is everyone else here doing? After paying in $6k in taxes this month I’m really hoping for an end to the IRS soon :/
$200 a year is a pipedream for my home. I've dropped out.
I appreciate the input, fren. I should add that we live in Nashville, TN where the cost of living is quite high and cost of childcare is absolutely absurd. Regardless I am blessed to have a loving family and support in means other than finances, which is equally if not more important.
In Nashville as well. Yes it is expensive here. We have no kids, but manage well on 125k, but both working OT to earn that much, and I have my SS in that total. Our saving grace is we don't drive and we rent an older 2/2 for 1600, we downsized...
