Jimmy, I was assuming 3.73, but he's in the same situation regardless. And it could've been an MJ44 if there are no perches.
That would either be 3.73 or 4.10. I don't recall which.

I gave her the list last night....I doubt I get it all....but I could....I will end up doing $1500 on the kids easy this year....already doing $1000 so far and not done.
I have 3 pay days left before Xmas....this is doable...we are having a good year since I got my job. I am currently at about a 40% debt to income ratio....awesome place to be....in other words....it only takes 40% of my take home income to pay the house and ALL bills....not including groceries...
Once Christmas is over I go into massive saving mode....since I am a contractor, I need a nest egg.
