Definitely not. My answer to Nisan was misleading in this context. Brief budget summary:

  • Any money Julia earns is donated.
  • 30% of what I earn is donated.
  • The remaining 70% can't be donated, and is spent on whatever we want, including taxes, housing, discretionary spending, etc.

That remaining 70% of my income is enough to raise kids on. Currently we're saving most of it.

I brought in the $45/week because that's the piece of our budget that Starbucks would come out of, but it looks like it just confused things.
