A few Floors Down from the Daily Grind
I got a friend who got divorced at 39 with 5 kids making 130k a year north of Boston. The Alimony/child support was so high, he literally took a job for less money (still $70-90k a year) and moved into a rental apartment with only 2 bedrooms for his kids to share when they stayed with him. Within 2 years, 2 of the kids were old enough to be off at College and one was about to be graduating high school, so his child support dropped.....to $2k a month, and she can take him back to court any time he makes more money to ask for more support.

Dude literally makes less money on purpose right now, and never has any any doh, drives a old paid off sedan and watches his pennies for eating out/drinking.

Getting divorced is one of the best ways to ruin your financial earning power.

The house
Also with all the stuff the OP said he had his credit rating is probably in the toilet. If that is the case he is paying way too much for his mortage, if he could even get one and other major purchases. A poor credit rating is a great way to go broke in this country.

For a lot of people only thing that changes when they attain more money is the scenery, house a bit bigger, car is better but because of poor financial decisions and lifestyle choices they're stressing just as badly as someone earning half of what they take home.

Take heed brehs.

truth....

a house is one of the worst investments a person can ever have...second only to a car and a college education (for most people)
