    $480,000 mortgage and earning 80k each.
    The repayments would be roughly 800 per week.
    They must be making 1100 a week each in the hand which would leave well over a grand a week to live off.

    Not sure how much they are losing each week on the investment property but surely they could still afford the repayments on 300k ...maybe 500 a week plus they get rent from it maybe 300 a week.

    So they still have 800 a week?

    Food 200, fuel 100, power 40,phone/net 40/rego insurances 60...childcare to but dont know what thats worth
    Still 300 a week roughly to save/pay off loans etc

    If one of them was to lose their job, then that would make it hard, but from what I can see these guys are getting by.
    Must say his hours of work arent flash.

    4 am wake up to get ready for work and home at 6pm...not much of a life for him, why have kids ?

    My advice sell the investment property, get a lower paying job whuch gives you more time to spend with your family.
