[quote=Anonymous]I think it is best to put this in perspective. Yes, things will be very complex and stressful for a while. But quitting a job, especially a high earning one, is a serious decision. Both spouse and I make similar amounts. Makes me too nervous in this economic environment to be dependent on one income, and it could take a long time to find another similar job. So we will hire a babysitter, take advantage of employer flexibility we are fortunate to have, and do the best we can for a while. It is difficult to grasp now with all the doom and gloom in the media and on this site, but the reality is that pandemics go away eventually. Maybe it's not in the fall but soon enough this will be behind us. This is a short-term situation, so at least I think it's important to think about the possible consequences of decisions like quitting a job. [/quote]
