Update
Wife is still employed. Apparently at the meeting her boss claims to have fought like hell to keep her, and I have no reason to doubt him. But all is not gravy.
To keep her, he had her salary (and that of the other person) cut by 33%, and instead she is on commission sharing. The amount of sharing, if it was 2005, would actually mean considerably more money. But based on my projections for this year, we just lost a lot of money. BUT- I guess she is still employed.
As for me, I realized that I need to cool my jets a bit. Sure, I am working my friggen ass off to the nth degree, but until the 1 year anniversary it would be an uphill battle.
I am just wondering if us two hard-working professionals will ever break through to the other side and have actual excess income, instead of just floating. Just seems awfully crappy. But no matter- I have decided to not be a victim and instead come up with creative ways to make money outside of work.
