[quote=Anonymous]You seem level-headed. I think the financial planner idea is a good one. However, I think your biggest risk isn't financial but marital: the only real red flag I see on your list is that you may also want to cut back at some point and that you're anxious about being a sole provider. Please do not discount this. My kids are a lot older and I would say one of the biggest sources of marital trouble I see among my peers is when one spouse is resentful of the other and feels unappreciated. It can kill a marriage. Particularly with a spouse in a law firm or accounting firm, to be honest. Based on that, I think part-time would be much better for you if your wife can swing it. That way she can scale back up when you want to scale down. I'd also be explicitly clear that you will want to scale down at some point. [/quote]
