You can use the difference in income to pay off debt, save or invest. One where you spend time with your family, have great conversations, read and get outside to do things that are fun and healthy.

Paying off debt is great but having no quality of life in the process is not the way to do it. In our twenties, my spouse and I were a single (low) income, two child family living in a thirty year old ‘dump’ in a semi bad neighborhood. I … allowed myself to still enjoy life. It Really Does Get Better.
