My income is pretty low but I can still afford to live in TV and enjoy what it offers. Granted, I can't go out for dinner every night and evenings for a special event have to be planned for in advance, but I can play bridge 5 Xs a week ($2/session), go to Urban Flats weekly to play trivia; play at the pool and squares when I want; go out to dinner once a week with my friends; play games at home.
I feel for arabian, but there is no way I would be willing to work 3 jobs to live anywhere. If I had to work 3 jobs and my husband 2, it would be because I was trying to survive, not live a lifestyle I couldn't afford. Either things need to be re-budgeted or there is something very skewed in their lifestyles.
