Question How much does your husband make

Does anyone have any advice on how we can save money? We make 100k a year, but it feels like we're struggling to make ends meet while saving to purchase a house. Additionally, we need to kickstart a college fund for our child and plan to have another child in a couple of years.

Post your budget! Unless you live in California, you shouldn’t feel like you’re struggling.

I dont want to be rude, but you're living a trophy wife life, girl.

If you cut your expenses with hair, nail, maid and baby clothes you will be rich. Also, how many kids do you have for so much money on baby clothes??? 10???
