[quote=Anonymous]Have you discussed the idea with your spouse and 5 year old? They might have some surprising views or encouragement you haven't considered. Everyone will give you advice from their personal opinions that do not consider all the factors that YOU are living. Do you tend to clash with your spouse and kids where personal space might be ideal for all? Or do you all endlessly enjoy each other's company save a few quick bouts of disagreement? Does work stress take your mind of home/family anxieties which sounds bad but might be a hidden blessing? Will your kids do without extracurriculars or ideal real estate location due to downsizing? Will your retirement years be iffy? Does your job provide significant financial padding or is it a comparative drop in the bucket or your hhi? Do you feel pride in answering what you do for a living when asked? Is work affecting you physically or mentally, will there be downtime after high stress months? Do you feel like your kids are missing out on your attention, feeling something lacking, acting out, frustrated? Do you have little patience after work? I think there's a lot more to consider than the usual "is your spouse ok with this? Won't you get bored?" But nobody actually knows what you are dealing with.[/quote]
