[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I had a bunch of money and I didn’t/don’t really care about my career. [/b] If you need your career or you just like it, personally I think it would be better to find a full time nanny/housekeeper. Pay them well and make them part of the family. Even if it eats most of your salary for a while. [/quote] +1 to this. It was still a hard decision but that’s where I was when I made it. [/quote] What do you consider a ton of money? I’m 36, have a well funded 401k, a strong emergency fund and investments. Then my husband and I have a lot of joint investments. We both ultimately stand to inherit a lot of money. And yet, I can’t bring myself to quit even though I desperately want to - right now, taxes and decent childcare eat away most of my earnings, and whatever’s leftover isn’t even enough to max out retirement. I’m essentially working to keep my foot in the door and not lose my earning potential.[/quote]
