We bought on the premise that one income should cover our mortgage. We've thought about the idea of more, but its seems scary if one person makes a change or gets hurt and can't cover the mortgage and bills.
for all of you that bought that can live on one income - did you buy your first home recently??
I couldn't imagine living on one income with the housing prices here - FH would have to make over $100K himself - we make that together, but not buy ourselves!
We bought last Aug, but we both had our own condos prior to that. We sold his and between profit and savings we have a manageable mortgage. We rent the other-but we take a loss each month so that's zero help.

I gotta say I'm really jealous and can't believe this. DH and I have pretty good salaries, but there were never any houses we could ever afford only on one salary. If one of us gets laid off, we'd be in trouble and I could never be a SAHM. What jobs does everyone have, for Pete's sake. No wonder the prices on LI keep going up--apprently people can afford it. Sorry if this sounds like an attitude...it's just frustration and jealousy.
I am in your boat to I am so frustrated!!
