[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the cost? Will you be able to manage the evenings alone? Will everyone's stress level rise? Will you lose quality of life? Do you or DH have flexibility or additional funds for kids appointments, sick days, holidays, camps? Will the type of job you want have flexibility for pick ups and drops off? Can your DH cut back at all to be able to balance out your working?

More money always sounds good and can be used when funds are tight but look at the costs as well as the benefits. What comes out on top?

10K is good money but not enough to compromise your quality of life or spend your week exhausted, stressed out and running ragged.[/quote]

Well, these are all the questions I keep mulling over in my mind.

Thanks you, PP, for making excellent points about benefits besides $, and I have to admit that when my last SS statement came in the mail I was horrified, so yes I will be very happy to add more hours.

Yes, our stress level will rise some I suppose, but what I don't know is whether other stress aspects (like $) will decrease. I think some of this stuff I won't know until I just do it.

But thanks for the words of encouragement, and yes, I have been out of the workforce for a while and it's not going to get any easier to get a job, so on that note I just made a date to have lunch with my former boss. Let the networking begin.[/quote]
