[quote=Anonymous]I turned down a job while in your situation. On the one hand, it took me a full year to get another offer. The market was crashing hard just then. On the other hand, if I had taken it, the stress of being in a job I wasn't qualified for would have been equal to or worse than the stress of living on just my husband's income. (We can do it, but not long term. His income exactly covers necessities-- no savings, no kid extras like soccer, no meals out, etc.) If you're in a situation where you absolutely require two incomes to get through the month, then you need to take the job. If you can survive on one for a while (again, in my case it was a year), then you have options. [/quote]
