    That is @Lennythedriver post.
    Anyway, the men usually lose the house in a divorce.
    Sometime is worth it to exit a situation quickly.

    335 is pretty much normal for my house on groceries/food/potentially eating out/alcohol,
    booze is a 10$ bottle of wine, and a 6 pack at 13.99 a week. 100$ aldi run and 50$ walmart for home groceries, 50$ groceries for truck, then 50 bucks for either out to eat or saved for next week.
    100 for me on the road, close to half of my 100$ ends up being coffee, 2.50 a 24 oz is stupid expensive but the 30 inch bunk isnt well suited to a coffeemaker

    Giving benefit of the doubt maybe 500 is all utilities? That would get you there.

    Internet, phone(cell), gas, elec (on sewer/well)
    Altogether is about 600 a month, 1300ish sq foot house not amazingly well insulated. Its on the todo list

    And im not in a particularly high cost of living state or area, northern indiana, not lake county

    Why do you think truck drivers should be paid more simply because they're truck drivers? They're not special and anybody can do it. People are here from all over the world that can't even read nor understand our language.

    Most were riding donkeys and camels weeks before jumping in a truck. They have no experience. No education. No real training. They should be paid for their hourly time but to say they should be paid higher wages for an unskilled job is ludicrous.
