[quote=Anonymous]I doesn’t matter what other people do. Can you cover your expenses on one income? Are luxuries important to you? There is nothing wrong with wanting to be home with your kids. I started staying home at around $130k HHI, 13 years later we’re at $200k. It’s not like there was an option to wait around until DH made $500k. I still only work part time. I cook, we don’t really go out, kids are in rec sports. We used to travel internationally when you could still get deals. I couldn’t deal with being the default parent, housekeeper, and gardener on top of working full time. We had/have no help. My babies didn’t sleep well for years, I was exhausted even with not working out of the house, but I was a zombie when still working. Only you can know what trade offs are worth it to you. [/quote]
