Good article. I wouldn’t say however, that getting married is a mistake. As it was stated both scenarios in the article involved divorce. As long as you stay married you’re much better off. Two incomes and one house works out much better. Then you add kids to the mix. I’m currently married without kids and together we bring home about 90k/year. I couldn’t imagine adding kids to it right now. We’d barely be making it and we don’t even own a home.
