Right with you.
We always planned on one income.
It can be a little frustrating at times, but I would not trade the benefits of having my wife at home (where she wanted to be) for anything I can think of.
We felt that way as well. Though we did not really plan for it, we planned for her to go back to work as she made more than i did as a lowly E4 in the Marines. But that did not last long at all.
We made do.
By the time my wife went back to work 12 years ago I was out of the Marines and working a job that gave me a ton of flexibility to be there for our son for his last decade in the house.
