[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. He makes between $65k-$75k depending on overtime & possible bonus. I really think it's best for the kids if I am home. The kids are in school full day but there are holidays and summer break and such. [/quote]

You have got to be kidding me.[/quote]

I'm going to give OP the benefit of the doubt and assume that her dh just sprung this on her so she probably isn't thinking clearly. Op, I understand that this isn't what you planned but what if your husband died and it turned out that he hadn't paid the life insurance premiums? You would have to go back to work, right? What if he became disabled and didn't have disability insurance? You would have to go back to work, right? In addition to this: what if your husband loses his job? He won't be able to pay. I just don't see why you would want to tie yourself to him for the next however many years. You need to be able to start fending for yourself even if it is just by getting a job while the kids are in school.[/quote]
