[quote=Anonymous]Discuss his plans and give your input.  There are big areas to cover.  How long are they giving to make things a success and what are the milestones to know it’s on track?  He can’t afford to reinvest his salary for 5 years I assume.  What expenses do you have to cut back on to live off your salary plus some of your savings?  Will both of you have adequate insurances like life insurance, disability and health insurance and can you save for retirement?  With childcare, will he be able to be involved with your child or will he be busy growing the business all the time. If he is going to be working even more trying to get the business off the ground, you have to figure out how to cover that, does he have family that can help, do you have family nearby, would you need to move someplace with more space and consider getting an au pair?

So bottom line, I wouldn’t say no to the dream, but there needs to be discussion about what it looks like and it would need to be fair so you aren’t a de facto single mom working full time supporting the family on your salary without the nanny and doing all things child care related, putting off a second child, living in 2 bedroom apartment with no time limit in sight.[/quote]
