[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I guess I’m having a tough time figuring out what our normalized budget looks like. We currently outsource A LOT to manage two working parents with young kids. With 1 parent at home a lot of those expenses would go away but not completely. We want to be able to pay for all the extras like bi-weekly cleaning, summer camps, orthodontics, maintenance on our $2.5mm house, travel internationally 1x per year ($20k) etc. We’ve been so focused on working and investing, that we don’t have a great handle on what a normalized budget looks like. [/quote] What costs would go away if you stopped working? I think you'd spend almost as much now, TBH. I stayed home for a while with kids and while I was willing to cut way way back to make staying home with kids possible, it doesn't sound like that's your mindset. Why not just stay home for a few years? [/quote]
