How big is your nut?

I'm unemployed and I live with my parents. Less than 500.

Just my mortgage and my property taxes qualify me for the bottom option in the poll ($3400). I'm guessing around 5k en total.

My biggest monthly expense now is my property tax at 1100 p/m.
No outstanding debt, so I can get by w/2500 p/m for me and fam.

I guess i was a little naive? Having to shell out $60k/yr JUST FOR THE ESSENTIALS sure seems like alot to me. What kind of pretax income are we talking about to finance this? Given that you are paying for any sort of semi-frivolous thing over and above this, as well as paying taxes, IRAs, and i would hope investing a good chunk. Im guessing that you guys are pulling like 150k?
FWIW, the "ex-wives" option was meant to be anything >$5000, not necessarily due to alimony. I just figured anyone with a $5k nut had to be middlemanning a bunch off to others. Ahhhh, youthful ignorance.

nevermind me. about 3 year ago our monthly nut was like $2-3k. now it's like 4 times that, but i wish it was like 3 years ago. simpler life = better life.
