[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I didn’t read all million pages of SAHM and WM sniping at each other so I don’t know if OP ever came back or just dropped a bomb and left. [/b]But, OP, you need to be realistic about how much your wife could make even working FT. Can she turn her PT job into FT? That would likely double her salary to $36k - we’ll round it up to 40k to be generous. That’s best case scenario, but a lot of PT jobs are just part time and don’t really offer a full time option or the employer doesn’t want to convert the position to FT. So then she’s on the job market and it’s rough out there for age 50+ job seekers. That will take time, and it’s likely that she’ll be at that $40-$45k level for awhile. And starting over at a new job, she’ll have no PTO to take time off for vacations, kids college visits/move-in day, stuff like that that comes up even with older kids. Perhaps by her mid-60s, she’ll have worked her way up to $75k? I’m not saying it’s not worth it, maybe it is, but her working FT isn’t going to instantly bring in a load of income.

I don’t know why exactly you’re so resentful but it sounds like you both need marriage counseling. [/quote]
So instead you post something totally irrelevant. OP’s wife is an SLP. His salary projections and her ability to easily ramp up is 100% possible and would be very easy considering the demand for her skill.[/quote]

Does she work for a school or hospital or is she self-employed? Since you have time to read all bazillion posts maybe you could clarify![/quote]
