Child support - how do you spend it?

i get $995 between 2 kids (i have 5) for a month . how would you budget that?

Put it in a college fund.

College fund.....

I get $236 a month for two kids, and I use it to pay daycare, which is $108.

The rest, I use for milk, and clothes and stuff.

Is that ur only income?

Why don't you get CS for the other 3 and is that your only income? I'd spend it on your kids, stuff that they need, diapers, clothes, school stuff, etc.

Use it to take care of your kids instead of trying to sell their belongings.  

If I got Child support, I would make sure that expenses were paid first. (Rent/Elec, Food, ect.)
Then it would go to what each child /needed/. (Clothes, shoes, what ever was necessary, no extras.)
Then I would put the rest in a savings account.

This!

College or just a savings account for both kids.

Quoting ILOVEWINE:" Put it in a college fund."

i can't right now. i'm only making $1000 a month, my rent alone is more than half of that so i normally use all of the child support.

Aren't you the same broad who is always about to be homeless and sells your kids smurf to pay your expenses?

Sure is.

When I was receiving child support I saved it. I used it for expenses sometimes but the majority is still in savings. But I don't receive it anymore.

id probally put it in a seperate savings account so when my funds run dry i could hit those up.
but i only spend my money on rent/bills
i NEVER go out or buy unnecessary things.
then when they hit a certain age. lets say 13 they get their own accounts
