[#ff0000]I take offense to that comment. My wife has not worked in 5 years since my son was born. She is a stay at home mom and does a damn good job of keeping up on that kind of stuff. She also brings in small amounts of income with her coupon bonanza but it's only a couple hundred a month. Our grocery bill is 1/8 of a normal family because of what she does. Even on my small income, we live plenty fine. I have a $640/month truck payment, $1190 house payment, $195 4-wheeler, $150 boat payment, $200/month hunting addiction, and insurance for all of that plus normal monthly bills.
One of the main reasons i am ok with it is the dangers in having your children at daycare. Have you seen that BS on the news? I can't handle that kind of crap. We do just fine with 1 parent working.[
