my whiskey colelction would be unparalleled - znufrii Aug 24, 08:49
question: does she pay taxes on the child support income? -- nm - zork Aug 24, 08:49 9
- No, and neither does he. -- (link) - mara Aug 24, 08:52 5
  - No, wait, the earner still does. Neither mother nor child does. -- nm - mara Aug 24, 08:52 4
    - And he would get the dependent deduction unless she contributed an equal amount. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 24, 08:54
    - that's how it worked for dave. he paid tax on his income. he paid his ex support. - Andie Aug 24, 08:53 2
      - but it wasn't always that way, IIRC, plus I wasn't sure how it worked in the US. -- nm - zork Aug 24, 08:56 1
        
        well, that is how it is here, now. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 08:57
- Yes -- nm - decline Aug 24, 08:51 2
  - wait. not on child support (I was thinking alimony) -- nm - decline Aug 24, 08:51 1
    - This is correct. No on child support, yes on alimony. - spamlet Aug 24, 08:54

- Depending on how long you're amortizing your furnishing over, you're way low on the furniture. - pmb Aug 24, 08:56 8
  - Yeah. We certainly aren't rich, but I look back on how little I made when I first started and can't believe we managed to survive. - Don Homer Aug 24, 08:59 5
    - I haven't bought new clothes in two years, yet my bank account is barely above cheque-to-cheque -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 09:13
    - we have this issue as well - I remember it being tough but we still had things - Epiphany Aug 24, 09:02
    - this. I'm a little nervous about my wife quitting most of her job. It's a hit on income but nothing compared to what I make - oblique Aug 24, 09:00 2
      - Yeah, I've had to do this as well. We have some years better than others and it seems really difficult, but in some ways it's not that hard when you - pmb Aug 24, 09:05
      - just make that boy of your's get a job - decline Aug 24, 09:01
  - I have to agree on furnishing. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 08:57 1
    - So you mean I can't buy stuff off craiglist anymore? - oblique Aug 24, 08:58
- How the hell could you spend $2000 at restaurants AND on groceries in the same month? - Jim Aug 24, 08:49 11
  - lots of very expensive wine, I'd imagine. - znufrii Aug 24, 08:55
  - Forget Denny's and IHOP, Chili's here we come! -- nm - amoxy Aug 24, 08:51
  - It's easy when you buy the most expensive of everything. And restaurants would include picking up the tab for friends. -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 08:51 1
    - yeah, i was being frugal. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 08:51
  - I could spend $2000 on restaurants in a week, easy. -- nm - loosilu Aug 24, 08:51
  - really nice restaurants. plus i had 'bills' in that second $2000. - Andie Aug 24, 08:50 4
    - Shit, I missed the "bills" part of that. I was trying to figure out what the hell you were buying at the grocery store for $2k/month. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 24, 08:57 3
      - New car, caviar, four star daydream, think I'll buy me a football team. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 09:01

    - oh, see, i forgot that. good one. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 08:49
  - More anything. - Will Hunting Aug 24, 08:48
  - need? i don't NEED anything. i buy things for my friends, i charter a plane once i a while, i buy a second vacation property. i'd figure it out. -- nm - Andie Aug 24, 08:48 1

        OK - you're right. I meant a live-in caregiver and tutor. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 09:07 2
