If it something you want, work to stay debt-free and put some money into savings for a rainy day. For most, it just boils down to what and how much you are willing and able to sacrifice.

Great post! I plan to be a stay at home mom, and my fiance and I have been learning to live on one income already, so that we can be more prepared when the baby comes. We live off his income and mine gets saved/used for paying off debts. We feel that by not getting ourselves in over our head now, we'll be much better prepared for living off one income once we start a family.
Me continuing to work after having a child was not something we considered to be an option.
