[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I became a SAHM and that solution worked for me, my family and my kids. [/quote] +1 me too. You have to ensure you don’t get caught up in the material rat race and it’s still doable even in DC. You can prioritize cars, vacations, owning a big house, and possibly private school OR you can be smarter with your money and have a very low stress life. [/quote] But...a lot of posters coming here to ask for suggestions on how to reduce overwhelm aren't prioritizing these things. They are reasonably successful families where spouses are earning similar salaries, and the suggestion for the Mom to stay home would represent a significant lifestyle change. I realize this works for some families but your spouse has to be ok with the implications of being the sole breadwinner potentially forever. [/quote]
