I was glad that we never got stationed in a high COL area. Two of the bases we were at were in extremely low COL areas, the others were in low COL areas.
I thought it was obvious.
my eyes can't roll back far enough in my head at this one...
I do all the things you mentioned to the best of my ability and I still am paycheck to paychecking it.. should I move? probably. Can I move? no. not til the girl is launched, I won't take her away from her dad and I won't move far away from her so here I stay for now!

Hemenway's is still there, but its always been more blue hair than college student, though. Rue De L'Espoir apparently still is and was when I went there in the 80s. Were you really familiar with the East Side of the mid to late 80s that you were a college student? Did you go to the Avon? Cable Car? Elisabeth's or, of course, the Hot Club?
How many people get off 95 in Ct for anything other than gas and munchies?
I'm perfectly content with my home, and please, move on through as quickly as possible.

Sliced bread that is cut extra thick. It comes in the same size loaf as regular bread but instead of about 22 slices it is cut in about 10-12.

Tax refunds? Doesn't any good budget planner get little or no refund. (Don't want to give the bloated government an interest free loan.)
Bonuses? Since they are usually variable, why would they be part of any budget? And good luck with counting on this year's bonuses.
Child support - n/a
Wow - I guess I'm doing it wrong. My budget is based our combined base salary, and we live within the limits. Any dividends, bonuses, lotto winnings et al may go to off budget items, like my cruise, or tiara.
