[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I regret it sometimes. I left a very high paying career and sometimes I miss having my own money. My husband makes about a quarter of what I made. We can still afford the basics, but definitely don’t have the luxurious life we had with my money. The flip side is that I get to stay home with soon to be 3 kids and we can homeschool. I did consider getting a part time telework job, but the money just didn’t seem worth the extra stress it would cause.[/quote] I would not have left in this situation. If your spouse cannot comfortably support the family, you will probably go back at some point. Will you have enough to pay for college or your retirement on your dh’s salary? If anything, your Dh should have stayed home while you continued to work.[/quote]
