[quote=Anonymous]yes and no. I was home for 5.5 years. I loved the first few years at home. However, I lost seniority in my field and I also lost 5 years of retirement contributions by staying home. If I could do it again I would have returned to work after 2 or 3 years. I began to really struggle during my last year at home---I was bored and restless and really missed the stimulation of work. However, it took me about a year to figure out what I wanted to do, apply and get hired. We live off my husband's income as a physician so we don't need my income and I don't need my retirement funds. But it's pretty powerful and awesome to watch the money grow and know that I earned it.
