[quote=Anonymous]You need to figure in the cost of: 1) Health insurance/medical expenses 2) Home repairs/maintenance 3) Roth/IRA for you, mom 4) Do you have life insurance (if not, you should definitely have it, esp if you decide to SAH)? 5) Activities for your child--classes, sports, music, etc. Also, when you SAH, you will also be accruing expenses--meeting friends for lunch/coffee, outings, parking fees, etc. Before you quit, I would recommend what the PPs have stated--try to live only on DH's income (minus things like health insurance, if that is paid from your employer) for 6 months. I would also try to go part-time before quitting completely.[/quote]
