Yes, there were 2 incomes as a whole but each parent only had access to their personal income. The other parents income had absolutely no bearing on the others. Mom had to pay rent, electricity, car, food, "stuff", etc. Dad did too. Like I said, it was essentially 2 different lives I had. The only one thing less was insurance, my mom didn't have to pay for our insurance because we were covered under my dad... and maybe you could consider food because we only ate with each parent half of the week. But still, overall, only one income.

Yeah like I said some people's views are skewed, and some people live above their means...$50K a year would be sufficient if you lived within your means. I've made it work for far less...but god damn man it gets tiring when you have those lean times and there is an abled bodied father out there who just won't help out..and so gator doesn't blow a gasket...Mothers too.
