[quote=Anonymous]I have kids and a wonderful spouse who works from home. I took a new job five years ago that I enjoy, and can be stressful and challenging but in a good way, and requires me to travel away from home 4-6 days per month (think 2-3 overnight trips to a major city not far away). For this job, I get paid over $600k annually. We’re trying hard to manage this money wisely to save for college, invest, do things for the kids, etc. Lately I have been gut-wrenchingly sad every time I leave my kids. The excitement of the new position has fully worn off and I still enjoy the work, but I miss my kids and spouse so, so much. My kids and spouse are okay without me; we even have involved grandparents nearby. Can someone help me here with some advice? I’m not thinking of quitting- I’ll never find another job like this and we have a financial plan for the next five years to help pay for the kids. But I miss them so, so much and I feel awful every time I am away.[/quote]
