[quote=Anonymous]Also I would try to answer these questions for yourself: how do you want to be spending your time? You could probably do some math if you’re that kind of person on like hourly rate at this new gig and your current one and then the value you are providing your family. What does your family value most? More comfortable retirement later or more comfortable and flexible schedule now? How will this impact the kids in terms of time at home vs aftercare, time in camps etc (how much will you need to invest financially in these things). As the person that downshifted when we had these convos we realized that we valued flexibility to a huge extent in our family. We want to be able to spend a few weeks up north in the summer for example. We value time at home for our kids. Probably more than many families and that isnt a right or wrong - there are lots of ways to make up a family and raise great kids, you have to figure out what are the foundational values for you. Then try to build your life from there and make decisions from there. Made it a little easier for me. There isn’t a right decision here and another opportunity will probably come. [/quote]
