I earn about ($300) per month in my work,thats roughly 15,000 per month...but i still come up with only 5000 after paying all my bills,right now its enough for me for im still single..my fear is when i get married i realy hope the income of me and my future wife would be enough to maintain an ordinary lifestyle with no worries on the budget....how bout you? peace!

I only earn about ($200) per month thats about Php10,000 Im married. My wife is not working right to take care of our first baby. She will apply for work this march. Our family income is not enough but i still do sideline work like buy and sell. We only save about Php500 per payday.

Am I correct in assuming that 10,000 is your overall monthly expenses or is that just bills and then food and going out is on top. If your total monthly expenses at the moment are 2/3 of your take home income, I believe it shouldn't be too much of a problem, because another person living in the same place does not change your utilities by double and I am sure you will move up in the career ladder soon enough.

I don't really come anywhere close to paying everything I need to. Between myself and my husband we just barely make enough to pay all of our utilities, and buy things like food and baby stuff. That means that all our debt (his school loans, medical bills for both of us, credit card debt from when I was unemployed for a while) has to just not get paid much. We'll send a payment out now and then, but we just can't catch up. Bleh.

My earnings from my full time job is enough to pay my expenses but do not have much left for fun things so that is why I am using the internet to make some extra cash for personal use. If taxes did not keep going up and other expenses, my full time job would have been enough and then some to pay bills.
