[quote=Anonymous]I'm thinking of resigning from my job since fter paying our nanny and all taxes I net only about $1,200 a month. This amount is spent on food and other expenses and I borrow from my savings every month. Daycare would be similarly priced since we have three kids and we have no family in the area to help. I feel that if I stay home I can also save on all the other associated expenses from working and commuting. We could maybe eat at home more too and probably live a heathier lifestyle.  On top of our childcare expenses I think we would save an extra $1,000 a month if I stay home. Spending time with my kids is also priceless. My issue is that it's a great job and I worked really hard to get here. I've only been out of school for 6 years (masters) and a gap in my resume will not look so good. If I leave I know I could never come back to the same position or maybe even the government. When we had one opening we had hundreds of applicants and they still gave it to an internal candidate. Leaving a government job is a hard decision.  The thought of being unemployed just scares me, but I do feel that I'm working to pay my nanny. [/quote]
