Luck is really at least partly confidence and envisioning yourself being successful. Someone once said that chance favors the prepared mind, and I think that's very true. And I do think that having two incomes in a family can cause you to spend more and save less if you're not careful. Kind of a false sense of security thing...especially these days when having a job today is no guarantee you'll have one tomorrow, or even later today. I'm a little sensitive about that since I lost my job the week after I got married. Good thing we had a cheapie Vegas wedding!
