my partner earns slightly more than me and with our "basic expenses"
we feel cash tight. We do not go for long holidays and most of our trips are to nearby places, sans kids.
We both have our own cars.. but not conti.. just 2 B&B cars as our offices and lifestyle need quick transportation.
How much is your combined income per annum?

I'm 36yo too and me and my partner earns about $200k combined. We have 1 kid and only 1 car and living in a HDB flat but looking to upgrade to a condo... although $7k per month sounds like a lot and we are much better off than some, however I kind of agree with you about all the expenses add up and cash is tight....
