I'm in the 20th & I make about as much as you in my civlian career. I also have a mortgage that is around $1500 & a car payment around $550 (not to mention the other bills associated with those two). You have the advantage of having a wife who has the potential to bring in a second income. I don't. I'm just sucking it up & driving on. There are no secret recipes. It's just how much are you willing to sacrifice to do what you want to do in life.
