I've been married five years and contracting for 18 months. Three weeks ago our first child was born and though my wife has never complained about me being a contractor she was starting to make hints about finding a permanent job.
I agreed with her and began writing a list on what we needed to cut back on when I start on a permie salary and stuck it on the fridge.
1. Cancel Sky and get a freeview box (she didn't like that)
2. Stop ordering those expensive japanese food items (she's Japanese) and make do with Asda's oriental shelf (she definitely didn't like that)
3. Stop buying baby clothes and baby items every time we go out and instead start start stock-piling clothes that are a size too big so they will last him longer ...
etc, etc, etc.
Needless to say I am still contracting with my wife's blessing and full support.
