SAHM's, how much does your hubby make?

My husband is in the Army, so it depends on where we are stationed. Right now, we live in Hawaii, so he gets about $600 extra each month for the higher cost of living, as well as a slightly higher BAH (basic housing allowance). We live on base, so our BAH (about $1200-$1300) is kept by the government. So, about $2600 per month total. We have one child, and even though things are way more expensive here, we do okay (of course, we would be doing better if my darling husband could stick to a budget).

He opened a store, refuses to buy a house so rents an apartment cause he doesnt wanna pay taxes, after our expenses like 80k/yr-100 Thanks God. And he is 24 yrs old, I, 20. The store generates like 300k a year and he sells his stuff dirt cheap to beat out everyone else selling what we do.
What kind of store do y'all have, if I may ask?

I think he is up to 29.35/hr. But he rarely works 40 hours...more like 65 on average. He gets time and a half from hours 8-10 and double beyond 10. Weekends are double and holidays are triple. They do paid shut down in December from Dec to 2 work days after New Years, but my husband always works shutdown and gets triple pay for it. Anything beyond 12 hours, his employer has to provide meals. If he is on call he gets 4 hours pay automatically and double time if he goes in including travel time.

Why are you telling everyone such personal stuff... well I guess you're anon. So it doesn't matter , but still!
I think my husband's a sociopath
