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

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

- 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
