You are much better off living off the existing income as you were doing, and splitting your wives income between savings and house loan principal. That is what we will do in about a year when my wife gets a small job.
ChadTower:
Exact same here as Sharidan. The wife is just getting back into the real workforce and her income will go exclusively to the mortgage and other debt. Don't go straight from paycheck-to-paycheck to "let's buy four figure items we don't need".

Oh I know. That's what we plan on doing. Her money is going to go into paying down our debt (mortgage, student loans, etc). I'm still going to drive my '97 truck, still going to at home most of the time... we don't plan on changing our lifestyle. It'll just be nice not to struggle every month. Combining our incomes, we're making triple of what she was making a year ago (she was the source of income while I finished college).

Treat yourself right... buy the TV. The mortgage will always be there for you to pay down. ;)

Oh, I'm buying the TV. I'm using my signing bonus for that (even though they taxed the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of my bonus). ;D
