[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I really do appreciate all of your thoughts!  I'm still struggling a bit with this one but DH is about to talk me around to "this is crazy".  That seems to be the general consensus here as well.  Although a few people have done similar things and had it work out fine.

I suspect . . . [b]that my willingness to consider it has much to do with not seeing other good options.[/b]  I've been looking around and seeing either (1) well paid jobs I don't want because of intense hours and boring work; or (2) interesting jobs that I'm not qualified for.

I realize boredom isn't the worst thing in the world, and I really do like my job most of the time.  It's just getting hard to imagine doing it for another 20 years.  [/quote]

No, it's probably because you have never experienced real hard times. [/quote]

Well, it is true that I have been fairly fortunate in life, and I appreciate that.  I also suspect that a salary of 75k would not count to most people as flirting with "real hard times".[/quote]
