350.00 - average monthly gas/electric bill
75.00 - average monthly water bill
126.00 - average monthly cable bill
400.00 - average monthly food bill
2351.00 - total monthly expenses
2351.00 divided by 4 people that live in the house = 587.75 per person
587.75 divided by 30 days = 19.61 per person per day to run this house
Make sense yet?
Kinda know what I'm doing here?
Ok.. now get THIS
160.00 = monthly child support payment (when paid)
160.00 divided by 2 = 80.00 per kid per month
80.00 divided by 30 days = 2.66 per day received for "support"
So, to me, ranting.. raving.. and bitching that you're buying clothes that the kids WANT as oppose to NEED and screaming about WHERE THE CHILD SUPPORT MONEY IS GOING is just .. well.. y'know.. kind of pointless, don't you think?
Basic math skills, people...
If you don't learn them, you'll come off looking like an idiot!
6 months ago, my ex started paying support. $17.50/month. Yes, you're seeing that right. 17 dollars and 50 cents. Is this our child support order? Absolutely not! It is the bare minimum that he can give the state and not go to jail. Mind you, he didn't pay anything at all in over 10 years and owes his kids over 50 THOUSAND dollars but hey... they told me I should be "thankful" for that $17.50.
