48 k is hardly a lavish lifestyle.
My thoughts exactly.
Basically covers the rent/mortgage, the child’s clothing, food, transportation, school, insurance, and medical expenses and allows saving a fair amount each month towards her college education. Mom is still going to work fulltime for them to have a truly middle to upper middle class life style (which is not an unreasonable expectation for the wife and child of a former state governor).
Exactly what I was thinking.
