> you might be surprised at how you manage to adapt to less money. in the sense that whenever i find myself with more i wonder where on earth it goes... having less money can be easier to deal with than you might think... but it is a bitter pill to swallow, i hear you on that.

>I know I got by on way less money for years. But I've been doing budgets. Everything is so expensive here - much more so than it was when I was younger. Housing and utilities will eat up half my after-tax income. Wi-fi is expensive. Cell phones too. Can I get by without either of these?My husband makes twice as much as I do. I told him I would want alimony - not a lot, just enough to make the numbers work. He became angry and hostile and threatened to quit his job rather than pay alimony. I had thought that, at the very least, we could manage to separate amicably But apparently not.
