We must first have a boat load of money in the bank, and I must have 3 months of projects booked out. It'll be difficult to make the plunge again, especially as the little ninos are born.

I am a wife myself who is very supportive of my husband as well. The thing with our situation is that NEITHER of us have a steady paycheck-we are BOTH Entreprenuers, so that makes life that much more harder-yet interesting at the same time!

But no, we don't have savings because we put all our savings in the business, we don't have a farm, and my wife doesn't go "shopping," at least not in a traditional sense. I'd guess she spends about $50 on clothes per year, maybe $100 tops. No, probably $50. But she's great that way, she's not one of these women who "needs" to have her nails done, "needs" to have her hair done, "needs" to buy new clothes or have nice furniture, etc. It's not that she's a pushover or anything, not at all. Not even a little bit. She just doesn't put much stock in things that are superficial or material. Sure, she'd like to have money to do all those things, but they're not necessities for her. It's been as perfect a match as can be. I don't think anyone else would have stuck with me during all the ups and downs of running a business.

Are you living off savings? Do you have a farm in your backyard? Does your wife ever get to go shopping? (I find that to be a necessary investment in marital happiness.)
