i would like to know how much your wife makes at her job.  i make similar money as you and my wife works and makes the same.  we have 2 10 year old cars and one newer car almost paid off (0% finance so not in a hurry).  we do well but even in our early 30's i could not see having our house paid off in less than 10 year...more
