I’m really surprised with the level of jokes in this thread. @ShauneP82 has a valid question and has put forth details in the honest desire for an answer, so I will oblige with a valid answer.
You are in a great situation to become rich. Your career is one that can make a lot of money (I know as I have the same one) and your marriage provides you with tax benefits to maximize your end of day earnings (I recommend you meet with a financial adviser and a tax expert who can help advise you on how to save more tax money and to plan out other investment opportunities). If your wife works as well, you would be able to quickly amass large amounts of money which can be invested to secure your future but also to let your money make money by itself. Compound interest really is a magical thing, and if you can set up a chunk of change before having children, your future is likely to be more secure.
Yes, the world is run by monkeys. It will always be run by monkeys in some form though, so you’d might as well realize that and come out stronger for knowing it. Your career is one that if you pour a lot of effort and passion into it, you can increase your chances of finding a well paying job as well as gain new skills which can further increase either your value or your ability to start freelancing.
Freelancing is one thing I wanted to mention as well. Being your own boss is amazing. I am glad to say that at my young age (under 25) I run my own solo web design company, and I the ability to get more clients and thus more money if I put my time and effort into it. If I ever desired to quit working my normal 9–5 job, I could support myself, pour myself more into my freelancing and probably be able to combine that with life savings to coast for a few years at least. This amount of flexibility is amazing. It also would allow me to become a stay at home person, which may be of consideration if you wish to have children or if your spouse wishes to have a facilitated full time career. Even if you don’t want to freelance fully, you can always look around for quick gigs to make some extra money, and throw 50% or more of that money in the Super Uber Retirement Special account with a promise to spend it (and the huge interest) when you’re 60. It’s a present for the future you. Spend the rest as you see fit, however the more you can save, the more rich you become. It’s a train with momentum, compound interest and wise investing. The bigger the track, the faster it goes.
Basically, save your money and invest it wisely. Work hard to get more gross money. Use tax laws to your advantage to reduce the amount taken away from you. Spend what money you do spend wisely and not frivolously. It’s worth spending money to save money with regards to tax and investments. Start early and you will finish ahead of the game. There are tons of great books out there but I’m Canadian so I can’t recommend ones for Americans.
