I agree wholeheartedly with da Queen....I have lived both ways and she's right when there is just me I am very frugal yet comfortable and cut the frills that aren't needed. My biggest mistake is not having Health Insurance, since my hospital bill for a 7 hour stay in the emergency room was $11,665.00. Can you believe that one? I can't especially since hardly anyone at all paid any attention to me for those hours. But two salarys or one or five wouldn't help. Oh well!!
