Lindsandbaby Part 5

Unread post by **dfwmom** » Tue Jun 04, 2013 5:12 am

So I don't watch her videos and am not subscribed to her but I needed something to listen to this morning while getting ready and turned on her latest family update - I know I am behind so forgive me. This was my favorite part: "Alex just signed up for the National Guard and let me tell you why this is going to be so hard for ME." Uhhh... HE is the one signing up and having to make sacrifices. You are going to have to work and raise the babies that you wanted to have before you were monetarily and emotionally ready. Oh, but she has matured you guys... she mentioned it like 900 times within 5 minutes in that video. She used to spoil herself, her mom used to spoil her, they used to spend all of their money on wants and not needs and food. How is that different from how she lives her life now? Does she actually work? How are they going to afford this apartment? Here in TX 3 bedroom apartments are usually over $1100 a month...

I think he'll still receive BAH after he's out of basic.

I would imagine so, but I don't know that it will support 4 people, one of which has a shopping addiction. I can't imagine that his salary will be awesome since he is new to the military and just enlisting for the first time...

She just needs to bide time until baby daddy n.#3 !! There must be TONS of wealthy old professors at her University. She just needs to pick one.

He'll only make active duty money in basic and in tech school....after that he'll get a small check for the ONE weekend a month he works that's all guard does, unless he is fortunate enough to find full time guard job but those are rare

I'm not sure how they "save" but they could easily have a nice chunk of change if they wait to move until after he was out of training and she stayed with mimi and continued to work.

I know that being a military family is hard (I've never personally been in one, but just from stories it does sound hard) but knowing Lindsey, she's thinking of it being hard for the wrong reasons: no one to have sex with with small children and parents in the next room, no one to pawn the kids off on when others are busy and of course she won't be able to constantly ask him for money. I think realistic military wives are worried about their husbands, how they'll provide and how to keep their relationships afloat. She's so selfish, she doesn't care about the guys she dates, she just wants what she wants.

Even with what she said her mother!! "Alex is going to take good care of Lindsey". OMG... '50s much?

I think she was a Jessica wannabe but of course, you don't have to have just the business instinct like Jessica does, (oh she is a VERY strategic girl) you also have to have very good luck. So Jessica is Jessica and Lindsey.. I really see her like she's running behind her, trying to catch up..

I don't know how people can make it, being military families (wife and kids) I'd go insane, I'd never handle it..

Lindsey could NEVER be a military wife. Have to be strong,independent,patient,loving,caring,think of other things/people before yourself (i.e- your children, the house and bills, your husband and skype and write as much as possible is deployed). Lindsey has none of that.

First of all, my husband is active duty, so I didn't pull these numbers out of my ass.

Those numbers are exactly what he will be making. While in basic, he will be making exactly this:

$1,516.35 or $1,699.71 (a month, divided into two paychecks, paid on the 1st and the 15th) but I highly doubt he will make the $1,699.71 because he is more than likely the bottom of the rung rank, an E1.

He will make this for 8 weeks and his uniform will be deducted. My husbands uniforms were around $600-800.

After he leaves basic, he will make this:

$202.18 or $226.63 (again, probably not $226.63 since he will more than likely be an E1)

Since he and Lindsey are not married, he will get no benefits for her, and he isn't eligible for basic housing allowance since he will be National Guard drill and not active duty (which is still possible with the NG, but highly unlikely and very, very rare to get a full time job).

He can claim Andrew for benefits if he is on the birth certificate and some other proof.

Finally, if I would want to seriously punch her dead square in the face if she complains about being a "military wife" or significant other. I've been doing it, and when I don't see my husband for MONTHS, there is nothing like it. There is another military wife on here (marines I believe) and I can't wait to hear her chime in.,

The National Guard is the military, yes, and by no means am I downplaying its importance, but he only has drill a couple days a month, and other than that, he lives a pretty civilian-like life. I work with people in the NG-- yes, I said WORK. People in the NG still have to have a job.

Like I said, that $202.18 is hardly a paycheck.

It's not easy. I don't see my husband for months at a time, and then I might get 3-4 days with him before we repeat the cycle until he gets leave.

You also have to be really creative on keeping yourself entertained throughout the days. Long-term projects help, making long-term goals, being creative-- things I don't think she is fully capable of, but she only has to worry about it while he is at basic since he is not going to be active duty.

Lindsey watched all seasons of army wives though so I'm sure she's prepared! HA. I wish my husband was gone only 1 weekend a month.

People, he enlisted in the National Guard. This is not full time Army. My husband is NG and unless he's on full time orders, or doing an AGR (Active Guard Reserve) job he only gets Guard pay. No BAH, no full medical (we have to pay a co-pay, etc) and he only gets paid for the one weekend a month and the two weeks a year. He will still have to have a civilian job to have a decent income. And E1-E2 don't make that much. My husband is an E6 and on active duty pay he was making a little over 5g's a month, and that barely supports a family of five...

Exactly. If he quit his other job, which I don't recall get saying he did, then he is going to need another job.

Normally with these programs they have recruiters right? I know I have a friend joining a part of the military post-high school and he has someone to counsel him on how to plan his life around it. I don't know if the NG does the same. But either way, I hope the counselor informed him of this and I'm sure he has. Whether or not Lindsey gets it, who knows. But oh wait, she has a fancy schmancy edumacation, who are we to question...

We live in Ft Worth. Our friends just rented a 3 bedroom apartment (not in the ghetto!) for a little over $1100. I know our last apartment was a 2 bedroom in Frisco for $1200, so most places it would be more.
