I tend to figure they were quite fine when Walt and Skyler were both working, but after she quit, they had trouble keeping up and toning down their spending.
That makes sense, Skylar was obviously concerned about Walt accidentally using the wrong credit card account in the pilot, and Walt having forgotten that would fit with them only recently having to tighten their belts after Skylar leaving her previous job. I'm guessing he most likely got the car wash job to help with costs after she left her previous place of employment, but of course book-keeping would still have paid a lot better than part-time car wash
And yeah I definitely think that it's about the power for Walt and feeling like he's really in control and driving his own life for once
