Still we need the paycheck. I make about $8k more in real terms than I did 8 years ago. My own earnings are going nowhere. I mention this because I spent the last 8 years building out my family. I will spend the next 8 years building my business and getting my lovely wife to a position where she doesn’t have to work at her underwhelming job anymore (if she doesn’t want to). |

It seems like you have a family only passively -- you married your wife for whatever reason (perhaps she initiated?) and had kids because your wife chose not to use birth control and you went along with it.
