[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]such important decisions you're making there[/quote]

And who said that every decision in life had to be an important one?  Do the old "if I got hit by a bus".... are YOU truly irreplaceable (sp?) in your job?

Another PP mentioned finding a new job you loved.  What if you love more than anything cooking or decorating or whatever.  Is it more acceptable to cook for a living than to cook for your family? Is it more acceptable to be a professional interior decorator than to focus on making your own home beautiful? To be a personal trainer to others as opposed to focusing on your own fitness and health?

Putting aside the (not insignificant) issue of being able to support one's self in the event of DH's death or divorce or job loss, I can see lots of reasons why I wouldn't work given the opportunity. About a decade ago I lost my job when the dot com bubble burst.  It was a scary four months financially but I also promised myself that if it happens again I'll balance working my ass off finding a job with trying to enjoy the "found" free time.

I'm great at my job.  I make a good living.  But if money weren't an issue, I'd quit in a heartbeat.  I may feel important in the office every day, but i'm not a Cabinet-level Secretary, my daily contribution to the greater good of the world is not unique.  [/quote]
