Saw this on lipjan's twitter (@mrlipjan) feed, and it's a good point. Kat's income is non-negligible, so it's worth determining approximately how much she brings in.
Seattle's minimum wage this year is $12/hr. Let's assume, given her apparently ever-changing schedule, that she works an hourly wage job, so that applies. Let's also give benefit of the doubt, since we don't know whether she's gotten any raises or anything, and use that $12/hr figure as our basis.
She's off at least 2 days a week, and it sounds like she often heads to work in the late afternoon. So the question is how many hours is she working? I think, to be safe, we should assume 25-35 hours a week. No idea what benefits (like insurance) she gets, so I'm not going to factor anything like that in. Let's assume she works 50 weeks out of the year, just to again give the benefit of the doubt and find the low end of her income.
So we get the following: $12/hr * 25-35 hrs/wk * 50 wk/yr = $15,000-$21,000 / yr. Assuming it's spread over 12 months, she contributes
PRE-TAX income of ~$1250-$1750. Take out 1/3 for taxes, and you get something in the neighborhood of $837.50-$1172.50. So not massive, but certainly a decent amount, considering how much Phil's bringing in.
