Sounds like a good plan all the way around, CL -- financial and dancing/wife-interaction. I do think maybe you should scale back on the vacations until you've built some of your savings back up, but you sound like you're taking a prudent approach.
As a guy who tried to "please" my wife, rather than say "no" to her about such things -- trust me -- there's NOTHING about my current financial sitch that she's pleased about.
