31m and 28f how to handle large income increase
Hello, my fiancé and I are getting married next month. We also just found out she is pregnant, great news!!!! Today I received a job offer that will be paying me $200k base + $60k performance bonus. I will be accepting. We live in the Midwest.
Today I make 130k, and she makes 75k. Our plan is to have her stay at home with the baby.
What should I know on how to manage this new life setup? I am very good with money and saving and investing with around $300k net worth. Not much debt. I’m asking mostly about logistics.
Thank you!
