I'm doing it. My wife is a stay-at-home mom. Here's the thing... my wife hasn't worked since we were in college. We never got used to having two salaries coming in. I think the real difficulty is couples base their lifestyle (housing, cars, schools, etc.) around both parents working... and so it becomes a requirement to keep up with the payments. Cutting your household income in half voluntarily is a hard choice to make. It's easier if you've never had the option.
