I spent most of this evening reading through your "money" tag, and I wanted to say thanks for taking time to compile and share all that info. I found it both illuminating and intimidating!
We recently made a big life change -- by choice -- that involved a fifty percent drop in family income, and we're still adjusting to our new reality. Sites like Dave Ramsey's and Broke Ass student make interesting reading right about now!
We're living on one income, but I worry a LOT more about the long-term future, since we won't have the opportunity to save in the future the way we have in the past. And things I have taken for granted until now, like summer camp for my kid, are suddenly a luxury that can't be covered by our current income. I'm picking up some part-time work to help cover that; eventually that kind of additional income may need to go to savings, but we're going to get through a whole year on the new income and see where we are before rocking the boat any more than we already have!
