[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50 is old for a dude to be having a baby. Being well-past retirement and earning social security benefits while your child is in HS is bizarre.[/quote] No, it's not. My husband and I both work FT - great retirement, fantastic health benefits, long-term health care, investments. We have two small kids - 10 and 6. He'll be retiring soon, which means he'll earn about 60% of his current salary, which is a good chunk of change. He will be home to send the kids to school. He'll be meeting them at the bus stop. He'll be home during the summer - as will I b/c I'm a teacher. Once he retires, we'll use my benefits package to cover the kids. It's completely a win-win, as financially we're set. Furthermore, and more importantly, our kids have parents who are around - and will be for a long time b/c we're both healthy. I didn't get married and have kids to be living from paycheck to paycheck, which is what destroys most marriages.[/quote]
