[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is making 7 figures these days. His salary has tripled since 2020.[b] I have a very part time job, that makes peanuts. I do it for my sanity rather than the money.[/b]

We also have three kids and are really busy all the time. The kids get more busy each year they are older. I would love to have more help from him, but he doesn’t have the time or mental energy.

But…I could be making 300k and I don’t think he would be making different choices. He says he would love to retire- but actually he thrives on the challenge and business.

So given that reality, I stay dialed back so I can manage everything else. I think if you are bored in your job, then look around for something else, but otherwise? I don’t think making more money for the sake of it is going to help your family [/quote]

How did you find this? We’re in a very similar situation and I’ve been looking for a PT gig and haven’t had any luck finding roles that aren’t FT. [/quote]

Maybe start your own thread so your question doesn't get buried. But schools often have part time jobs (bus driver, lunch monitor, classroom aide, aftercare worker). Also retail is usually happy to schedule you part time so they don't have to pay benefits. [/quote]
