he he, I am glad you mentioned the stay at home dad / husband too .

Even if you do not plan to stay at home I think it’s a fantastic idea to still live off one income… The savings can be incredible and really bring long term comfort to a life.

Thanks for the great article. Though my children are grown, I am in a place where I may have to return home. I am living with fibromyalgia, which along with recent foot tendon surgery, is making everyday activities difficult. When I was last working before the surgery, just getting through the days was so hard. I am a health care professional, so not being on my feet all day is not an option. I am exploring my options, but your article has given me a new direction and food for thought. Please keep up the good work, it is so needed. Thank you.

I’m a work at home wife (newly wed) and my husband is also working at our home office. We plan to live a simple life but still leave with convenience. Before we get married, we already bought appliances for our apartment. We both have credit card but we always pay in full each month. I hope we could be able to raise our savings this year so we can afford to invest more.

I am a stay at home mom. We have cut a lot of costs by simplifying our food budget and eating only wholesome fresh stuff. It is amazing how much money you waste on “stuff” like popcorn, chocolate, soda etc.
We have also got just 1 phone, a smart talk perpaid from Walmart. It costs just $30 a month for 1000 minutes, and 1000 texts, which is plenty for us.
