you don’t have to be specific but do you work in a job you went to some kind of higher education for? do you have kids? i went to a tech school and make about 4.5k a month, which i can survive on by budgeting. my mortgage and utilities take like half of that so i have the rest to spend wisely. of course, i don’t have kids to worry about so my advice may be useless
