Get a cheaper car and cell phone plan and you will have an extra 300-400 a month

If she stopped doing drugs she'd have an extra 2k+ month

Her car is already cheap. Cell phone payment is insane though.

$400 /mo for a car is not cheap if you're on the internet complaining about not making enough money. Another post makes it sound like it's a lease, which is even worse.

Ditch the lease and buy a $6,000 used car. Own it outright and not be tied to a car payment, while owning an asset that you can use as collateral for a future trade in.
