That is going to depend entirely on you and your lifestyle. But yes, you can.

bbb can answer you that one.grin

But it depends in where you are and the state taxes and how much they re giving you.
I will say about at least minimum 1,400 every two weeks.

Sure, I can take the wife shopping while you work. I know the best shoe stores in the area, and where the best sales are.
