True, but I do spend money on things I want out of a discretionary self-spending budget of $45/week.
Can you afford to raise children on that?
Definitely not. My answer to Nisan was misleading in this context. Brief budget summary:
Any money Julia earns is donated.
30% of what I earn is donated.
The remaining 70% can’t be donated, and is spent on whatever we want, including taxes, housing, discretionary spending, etc.
That remaining 70% of my income is enough to raise kids on. Currently we’re saving most of it.
I brought in the $45/week because that’s the piece of our budget that Starbucks would come out of, but it looks like it just confused things.
