[quote=Anonymous]We did this. DH traveled 2 weeks (straight) every month for about 6 months while I was pregnant with #2 (he traveled before, but not as much). He made $50k extra that year, but as the kids have gotten older (now 4 and 2) we realize the money is not worth it. Trips now are generally shorter and not as often. So I think it depends how old your kids are. It is much harder now that the kids are a bit older - they notice he is gone and it is hard on me since I work, too. With the money, we have saved for a nice house and have good college savings for the kids. We are in a great position financially. It was worth it, but now that we are "set" there is no need to continue. FYI, DH salary was just over $100k, if he was making $250k, I don't think we would have done it. Why can't you do all the things you want on $250k? [/quote]
