[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone. I am posting here because I would like the advice of veteran parents--SAHM, working moms, dads, etc.

I am a FTM to a 6 month old DS. I have no student loans and I am the main breadwinner of the family.

My husband has 200k student loans, earns significantly less than me but does not want to be a stay at home dad because he would have extreme difficulty to rejoin the workforce.

We have been trying for over a year now to relocate (because of how expensive the area is) but have been unable to do so because he has not found a job.

We both enjoy our family life together.

OPTION A--&gt;If I stayed in the area, I would take on a 100k job with modest time commitments but no real career growth potential.

OPTION B--&gt;If I left the area, I can bank almost double that at least, with higher time commitments, but would be doing so as a single mom....at least until my husband joins me.

My current job is ending in the beginning of June. My husband is supportive of whatever choice I make--he says we will make it work. I am feeling ridiculously scared with both scenarios.
