    I was a DINK until October last year.

    I kept the house because I can swing the payments. But just barely. It’s been a tough year adjusting to having a slim budget again, but I’ve made it. Not without worming a second job and denying myself a lot of small luxuries that would have made my mental health.

    I’m asking for a raise, but am guessing it’s not going to come.

    We just had to go down to a single income. I am really glad my wife has a pretty safe job and we can afford to keep up with bills, but things will be tight.

      Dude fuck avocados. I don’t get the appeal. They’re just wet flavorless slime.
