In answer to your question...
Would you be TITCOMMs?
(Two Income Two Children Outstanding Multiple Mortgages)
Mama's Gonna Buy You A Mockingbird
That is true. Hmm. I guess we're just SIKS then. Which is fitting, given how often we're all sick in my household.
Mama's Gonna Buy You A Mockingbird
LOL - I like TITICOMMs - with a new "I" added in...Two Income, Two Insane Children, Outstanding Multiple Mortgages.

The only that really applies is:
Dewks Dual-employed with kids.
I am employed but don't really make enough to qualify for "income" compared to our expenses--I work for "fun" (30-40hours a month, pays decent but I blow any money I make). But we do get decent income from our 2 rentals. So we are dual-employed, triple income, three kids & outrageous mortgage
) DETITKOM
These are too funny! We are going to have to come up with one as your life changes...I mean right now you have a rental, are in a rental and in the process of buying...SHEESH!! Yours is becoming a paragraph for a least a couple of months!
I had heard SITCOM as I mentioned below. Maybe from the same people you did!
Thankfully ours isn't too outrageous!
Forgot my new category of being a trophy wife:
SINK Single Income No Kids
We would be:
NINOK: No income, one kid
I hereby declare myself a SPOIPC. Single Parent One Income Plus Child Support.
I guess we're diks.
I've been called worse.
Yes,I'm smiling...I'm a marathoner!
