<prompt> Human: Does anyone have any good resources that could help me make an informed decision about whether my wife can stay at home with our kids? Open to advice on budgeting, tax implications, personal experiences, etc.Thanks in advance.  <response>: See if you can live on just your salary the next few months. Bank all your wifes salary. If you can live off of your salary while you continue to save 15 for retirement you are in pretty good shape. Bonus points if you have just a few hundred dollars left over of your salary as you will need this once the baby comes.
