7 steps to living on one family income
How to become a one-income family
It's no myth: More couples than ever are relying on two incomes to get by.
According to the New York-based Families and Work Institute, 79 percent of today's married couples have both people in the work force, up from 66 percent in 1977.
But at some point, life happens -- you start a family, go back to school or face a layoff -- and this new reality may force you and your partner to question whether you're ready to jump off the dual-earner treadmill.
While there are steep odds to overcome, living with only one family income can be done with thorough planning and a willingness to make choices.
