[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really want to stay at home but my spouse earns only 1/3 of our HHI and it is not enough to cover expenses (and I mean "frugal" expenses by DCUM standards).  We have a significant amount in the bank (mid seven figures from inheritance).  How much would you need in the bank to stay home? (BTW, I thought there was another thread on this but could not find it)[/quote]

Why can't your DH stay at home instead?[/quote]

I'm guessing the answer is that OP doesn't want to work anymore.

[b]Well, and if $5m in the bank isn't a good enough reason to not want to work anymore, I don't know what is. [/b]

I suspect DH isn't on board with the idea of either of them staying home, so DW is trying to justify it financially.  Why doesn't she go to her financial advisor instead of DCUM?  That's the question.[/quote]

Yeah, that's a pretty good reason ;)  I'd probably go part time instead if I could swing it job wise.[/quote]
