<prompt> Human: Hi all, Im in need of advice. My lovely bride and I are entering our 10th year of marriage. In that time we have moved from 3 apartments to our house, are raising an energetic boy who just entered preschool at his mommys school and are planning for our second child in December. During that time she has been teaching Middle School English at a private school for the same salary as when she was hired in. In the meantime, I progressed from my masters to my doctorate and now have returned to school to pursue a degree in data analytics paid by my employer while working full time. I strived to adjust the budget as necessary but now with a new SUV to plan on carting two boys around as well as the never ending house project our HVAC is almost 30 years old so we are expecting it to die out any day, it feels like that our salaries are no longer enough to meet our living expenses I bring home about 3600 a month, and she brings home 2200 per month. I know she loves her job and is afraid of the experience if she switched to teach in public school instead, and her finances provided the primary support while I was in grad school, but I am concerned as our boys get older and her salary remains static that I will have to push for an dean or vp position instead of director in order to compensate. Any other teacher families who can give me advice?Assistant: but now with a new SUV to plan on carting two boys around Whats wrong with your current vehicle to cart 2 boys around in?Human: It was a small sedan Ford Fusion. We have family in Ohio and PA that we try to visit at least twice a year and there would not be enough room in the car to cart everything around.  <response>: We have family in Ohio and PA that we try to visit at least twice a year and there would not be enough room in the car to cart everything around.Rent a larger vehicle for this 2x a year trip.Edit: Never mind, looks like you already bought the SUV
