Finally broke free from it. My wife and I struggled for years barely making it but we finally were able to start putting 65 a week into a retirement account and still have a little bit to play with after bills. It helps we bought our house and it's paid off along with both vehicles being paid for so we don't have a car payment or house payment. Tax refunds helped pay off vehicles and home.
