[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I both had business careers for about the first 10-12 years of our marriage. He too started making a lot of money and I decided I was tired of child care, nannies etc and all that goes with it so I became a SAHM. But, I joined the Board of a non-profit and eventually I became the executive director (small salary but work I loved) and I was able to do all of my work when they were in school. It kept me close to home and I was very engaged in the community. We had always been big savers so my becoming a SAHM did not change our lifestyle. Unless your wife was making close to $200,000 at worst you will be even. If she was making $100,000 you will be well ahead when you eliminate chid care costs which you pay after tax. And as my DH would say, "happy wife, happy life". Figure out how to make it work and you will be happy you did.[/quote]
