DH's New Job

We finally got all the details about DH's new position today. He'll be making $65K, and he will be eligible for a bonus of up to 15% twice a year, depending on quality, waste, etc. for his plant. The 401K match is great, 100% up to 6% of your salary, no cap. That alone will enable us to get our retirement savings to 15 percent, which is awesome! Now, if we could just get this debt consistently going down again, I would be very happy. We've already agreed that if he does get bonuses this year, the majority will be going to debt.
I think I need to put myself on an allowance. I have guidelines of what I want/need to spend, but I don't follow them like I should. Between cute baby stuff, cute summer clothes, and eating out, I waste so much money every month:(
