[quote=Anonymous]So my husband and I crunched some numbers last night. Assuming that I find home daycare in North Arlington for $325/week, I will make about $16,500 take home pay at my current job. This includes all the tax changes that will occur and health benefits. It does not include my company's 401K matching. I'm guessing that might be a 4K/year benefit. I worry about: 1. relying on one income, even though DH's job is very stable and company is well managed 2. not being able to get back in the work force if I want/need to - and if i do, having a worse job than i do now(I'm 29.) Current job is fine, not great, not bad - just a good job. 3. going nuts being at home 24/7 talking baby talk (i know a few batty SAHMs) 4. All the things I should be worrying about but I can think about right now. Financially we would be okay, though our retirement savings would decrease. [/quote]
