[quote=Anonymous]I can absolutely understand the challenges ahead. My DH is a fed and I stay at home but we have not had to deal with that kind of income drop. The drop is the difficulty. I don't fully understand why he has to leave. Can't he work another year and try for partner again? Aside from that since it is the middle of the school year I suggest staying in your current school. Then sit down and look at your finances. Plan your life around your new expected income. Save the excess. Can you afford your house right now? How are your local schools? Would you be able to afford your parish school once you return to work? If that is a priority you could use savings to cover the cost for a few years until you go back to work. On the plus side you will be able to see your husband a lot more. I'm sure his hours will be better. Also have him look at going in house at corporations. Good luck. It is an adjustment for sure but $120k is a very nice income and very do-able.[/quote]
