[quote=Anonymous]How did you know if was worth it? I'm not talking about the intangible benefits of staying home and being with your kids, but rather the lost income from stepping away from the work force. I currently make about $140K. After 401K, FSA dependent care, health insurance, taxes, and misc minor deductions, I clear about $60K per year. DH earns around $500K. We live off of his salary and we bank my free and clear money. I know the simple answer is that I can afford to give up my job. But I would be giving up 20 years of $60K (and growing) of investment for retirement. We both max out our work 401ks, the kids college funds each have $50K in them; the kids are 3 and 6. The house will be paid for before we retire. So DCUMers....is it worth it? [/quote]
