Why can’t you just use your credit card?



Cash can be seen and touched and kids get that, usually at an early age,

Then why is it so hard to believe that some people did the right (best financially) thing by escrowing with their mortgage?

Oh, I get it ... we have to take you at your word. But you get to disbelive us. gotcha.

Um no. That really doesn't have anything to do with it. For one, I've received child support from immediately after we split. There were plenty of hard times while receiving child support.

For another ... child support doesn't pay MY expenses or support me. It supports the children .. you know, the same way YOUR husband supports your children.

Do you use the mobile site? or view the full site on your phone?

The mobile site will cause it. I've tested it ... extensively.

and there are posts from you that lead back to the OP .. I think. Either you or egd. Because that's where I first noticed the anamoly.

Nope. In my house, we have 2 paychecks. In your house, you have 2 paychecks and child support. I don't have that extra money per month to spend on my children, which in turn gives me more money from our 2 paychecks to spend on myself, for things like clothes, shoes, alcohol and braces.

The site on my phone is exactly how I see it here, no different.

You certainly make a lot of assumptions for someone who is chastising me for making assumptions. It just seems strange that someone who has clearly posted about her financial problems in the past would brag incessantly about how well her budgeting techniques work. Not to mention assume that anyone who doesn't budge the way she does can't figure out how much to spend on a mortgage.

So, what do you suggest? I refuse child support -- you know refuse to let the man who fathered these children support them -- so I can live in your world and do things like they do by you?

You act as if child support is like money laundering or something.
