I-864 -- SHould I Joint Sponsor or "Household Member Supplemental Income/Assets"..?

[Waiting4ever2024 0]

My CR1/NRA wife's I-130 was approved last week.
Now it's time for me to sponsor her by completing the I-864.
 BUT my adjusted gross income over the past 3 years is pathetic.
(2023 = $35, 276 - -  2022 = $15,465 - - 2023 = $19,434 - - plus a $30K bank account + $9K IRA)
--
My wife and I will be living with my parents when she first arrive (we'll all be members of the same household, 4 total), so am I better off with Option #1 or Option #2 below:
Option #1 -- Use my parents assets/income to supplement my income/assets (ask them to submit I-864A)?
Option #2 -- Ask them to be a Co-Sponsor?
..
Please share your wisdom or experience in this I-864 conundrum.

Thank you!
