<prompt> Human: Im bad with finances and hoping someone can assist. My wife is currently a stay at home mom. I work full time and make 90k a year. We live in California and have one child and own our home. We are currently looking to move to a nicer area but getting a down payment is a bit tough. We are considering her going back to work nights in order to help bring in some more savings. Im curious how much she would need to make if she went back to overcome the tax write offs I get for being a single income family. Not taking in account deductions, 401k or anything, just if all things were equal. Thanks!  <response>: If she works and your expenses dont increase, youre going to come out ahead. Im not sure what youre asking about tax write offs. The doesnt make any sense in this context.
