We are doing okay on just what I make but my wife can't work (and get paid, her clinicals are a 40 hour a week job for two years unpaid) while in school doing her DNAP. Doing the whole one income thing sucks. Especially given we bought our house over three years ago when we both worked so our income to debt ratios are way off. We are getting by but I certainly can't buy some things I would like such as new golf clubs.
But when she is done it will definitely be worth it. Spending a lot on school is not a bad thing if done wisely. We are really racking up the student debt with her but when you are guaranteed a minimum starting salary of 140k with the potential for 180k right out of college that's a good investment.
