you are also changing more than one variable... most folks cant afford to go to a single income.

hot take: many folks choose a life that requires two incomes, at least those who are college educated

My wife was not working when I was making less than half of what I make today. We are incredibly fortunate, but we made sacrifices to forgo her income.

also could add:  many folks choose a location that requires two incomes, at least those who are college educated

Absolutely. With a world of fully remote work for a lot of us now, it's really nothing more than choice. I know this because I complain constantly, but don't consider moving far from the office for fear of moving away from the job market.
