A:
I presume your question refers to Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support). Form I-864 is a contract which an individual signs (usually the Petitioner filed with Form I-130), in which the individual agrees to sponsor (use his/her financial resources to support) an intending immigrant.
The amount that an individual must show, in order to prove that he/she can support the intending immigrant is based on the size of the sponsor's household. For example, in a household of 2, a sponsor must show that he/she earns at least $21,137.00.

A: Your income will be considered when you submit the Form I-864, affidavit of support. Depending on the household size there is an income/asset requirement to qualify as the sponsor of your wife. If your income is not over the required amount in the Form I-864P chart, then you can get a joint sponsor to join you in the application process to qualify.
