[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have two little kids. Your wife has a job she hates and feels trapped by. Your fixed expenses (mortgage, at least) are reasonable. You make a lot of money and you save a TON of money. Your wife has spent a decent chunk of the past 5-6 years pregnant/postpartum, and no matter how equally you divide family labor, you cannot imagine the toll that takes on person's body and mind. I get that you are risk averse, but please consider that your wife is telling you that she needs a break. Your finances will be more than fine and it sounds like your wife has the skills to be quite marketable if/when she wants another full-time gig. You can make this happen - it will be good for your household and your marriage. [/quote]
