You don't need a fancy ass car, you don't need a 70 inch TV, and there's a lot of married couples having kids that (CONTROVERSIAL OPINION WARNING) really shouldn't be having children, for financial reasons. This I knew a guy who supported himself and 2 other adults off I wanna say a 8 dollar an hour job. He had no internet, no cell phones no cable/satellite. His car was a old piece of shit but he knew how to work on it himself. But the bills got paid and nobody was starving. Where did they live, though? Different areas have different cost of living. In the military, depending on where you lived, you got more money for certain things. For example, Id get more money back in my home state. But currently, I live in a cheap town. I literally couldn't live on my paycheck back home. But here its fine. If I made what normal jobs back then make, I could live like a king down here... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
