Sounds like a good plan all the way around, CL -- financial and dancing/wife-interaction.

I don't see myself taking a hard line with the vacations, other than to keep them affordable with minimal credit card use. She doesn't seem too alarmed about my drop in credit. We'll see how that goes, when something I used to take care of, now needs her assistance (new appliance for example). I sent her an email suggesting a meeting with our financial planner in the next 3-6 months for a "financial check-up." We've put ourselves in a position that we need two FT incomes, if we wish to maintain our lifestyle, and pay down debt, and save for retirement.
It's good to see her working again, and getting away from sitting at home so much. She had a good first day. She even signed an mail with love.
