[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people that stay at home with $110,000 yearly income. They all have several children. One child is very easy to manage. If you are having more, wait till you have your second before leaving. Try living on one income now.[/quote] This is good advice. Also, consider going part time. If you are able to do that in your field, that is gold. That is better than being SAHM. For real. OP, how much do you have saved for your DP? Where do you want to live? I think these are going to be pretty big factors that decide what kind of quality of life you'll have. It's doable with your husband's income, but I'd try to keep expenses as low as possible. I don't understand the PP who indicated that Play based preschools are expensive. We pay 260 a month for three mornings a week. We manage that on 80k, so I'm sure OP will be fine. Make sure you have room in your budget for things like preschool and activities and can still save. [/quote]
