Then add another $300 for misc expenses like haircuts, clothing, insurance copays, car maintenance... Then if something major breaks... Tramp-o-lean is in the same boat as your WW. Some days I'm tempted to send her a card board box as just compensation for services rendered.

I tend to disagree. I would imagine a recession/depression will have the opposite effect. More people will be unhappy during this time and will tend to seek out things to ease this pain. I would think the use of many "vices" (drugs, alcohol, gambling, infidelity) will increase. Unhappy people don't typically reason things through and will choose a short term fix.

This could be WstbxH and OW (roughly their total combined income including $400 from OWH for CS). Only you have to add $80 for hair dye, increase the gas for the cars to at least $500 since they both commute, he drives a pickup and her car only takes premium gas, and probably at least $500 a month repaying a bunch of loans they took out to renovate their kitchen, bathroom, finish their basement and buy a new washer and dryer. Oh- and their mortgage payment is roughly double that. And yes, I'm 100% certain of both of their incomes. Yep, they're going down the financial toilet.
