[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband makes plenty, not private school plenty but I'm SAHM.  I wish he didn't. I wish he took a lower paying job and spent more time with us. I actually live the guy and like having him around and so do our kids.  Not saying I wouldn't miss the money in some ways but life is short and I'd rather have his time.

Have you considered getting a job so he can get a lower paying one without feeling like he is causing the family a financial hit?[/quote]

Absolutely. I offer all the time, I don't think I could make what I was before I left work and that might make the dynamic difficult when it comes to child care and it's hard to pull the trigger with him working like he does. I think we could live comfortably on 6 figures less though - we've saved and don't have huge expenses - it's just tough to walk away. It's always 2 more years then we'll have more saved... And two years later it's the same. I'm sure he feels pressure to provide but it's also something he does to himself. [/quote]
