This is a big red flag waving to me. So you have your lifestyle and monthly expenses based on his regular pay AND his anticipated bonus, correct? What happens if the company has a slow year and the bonus is 10% less, or 20%, or 50%? How will you make up the shortfall? Bonuses are not guaranteed, no matter how consistent they have been in the past.
