We could probably get by on FH's income BUT it wouldn't be worth it bc he is self employed and we need my benefits.

Re: Can you live on 1 income?

Being that we did that 2 times before the baby was born when DH was laid off, that would have to be a big hell no.... Chat Icon

Re: Can you live on 1 income?

Yes - we're doing it right now - DH is in fire academy which is unpaid in Florida and I'm working - we also have a lot in savings though - would we be able to do it straight on my paycheck alone - prob not - not without A LOT of belt tightening!

Re: Can you live on 1 income?

We could definitely survive on DH's income alone- but we wouldn't be as comfortable as we are now.

Sadly, we could definitely not live on my income alone!

Re: Can you live on 1 income?

We actually did it before, once Alia was born and I stayed with her for more than a year, it was very tight but it was doable.

now if he lost his job, it would be almost impossible to live on my income since I only work part time.
