Um, so my soon to be ex-wife and I bought a house, um, a year ago, last February. And then this last October, she decided that she wanted a divorce. Um, she already moved out and I decided to try and keep the house by myself. Um, after we purchased the house, she racked up like $10,000 in credit card debt. And I've been working really hard to get this down, but it seems like after all the bills,
that i pay every month i have like maybe an extra hundred dollars i can throw at it and it just seems like at this rate it's going to take forever to pay these credit cards off and i don't know if it's smart to keep or sell the house at this point were the credit cards in your name that she racked up after the divorce they were yes they were and was this after the divorce no it was there it was we were still still legally married okay at that point yeah can you afford to keep this place
So I make like $4,400 a month, and the house payment is $2,360. Yeah, dude. You can't breathe, bro.
What do you do for a living, Brian?
I'm an electrician apprentice, and hopefully next month I'll be able to take my journeyman's exam, so I would get a significant pay bump.
Yeah, what would that look like? In an ideal world, how much would you be making?
Probably around $3,840.
