[quote=Anonymous]well, a couple years back, I would have said $90K.  Then my husband started making that, and I realized I was enjoying my PT job too much at that point to quit.  Then, we bought a larger house, have some higher monthly bills...and we lost my salary from my normally 30-hour per week job for a short time but my husband hadn't gotten a well deserved raise in the 3 years he had worked at that job.  So, we had to live on that $90K for a few months and had to cut out savings to make ends meet.  So, certainly NOT $90K with our current situation - probably closer to $130K+.  He just started making six figures a couple months back when he switched jobs.

We only have one child in school and another isn't looking likely at this point.  What the hell would I do with myself while my kid is at school?  Honestly, I'd be bored out of my mind in a few weeks.  When I quit my FT job when my kid was 2 and went PT, I realized quickly that I was NOT meant to be a FT SAHM - I need more balance.

So, at this point - no amount would make me want to quit my job that gives me something to do while my kid is at school and keeps my skills current.
