Having the choice to stay at home to bring up your own children is an enviable situation. But it also means living with one income. Many believe that only those whose husbands make tons on money can afford to do so. Young couples who are just starting out in their career think it is impossible to live on one income.
Living on one income should start before the need arises which usually happen when couples started to have babies. Why? Because it is very difficult to 'down grade' to half the lifestyle you are used to. Of course it is easily said than done. In fact it requires a great deal of self control and fortitude from the individuals to choose to live way below ones mean. It will mean taking the appearance of someone less well off. It requires humility. But speaking from experience, it's all worth it.
