The way I see it for the next three years there will be NO luxury items purchased, only the needed items if something that will currently have goes KABOOM. Such as an appliance or repairs to a vehical. I just don't have enough income to pay for anything that is unnessary. Its her mini van and student loan currently sitting at $28K that is causing this friction. I do see child support payments being higher then that so divorce is not the answer. So now I will just enjoy spending time with my beautiful little daughter the best I can.
