[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much is twice his salary? I think it's a bell curve - from $20K to $40K is not meaningless but it's not enough to provide a replacement for the care lost by one parent. I think $250k-500k to $500k-1m is the top of the bell curve - those are significant amounts of money that could make a big difference in terms of lifestyle down the road (i.e. college) but could also provide coverage for additional assistance now. Beyond $1m, how much more money do you need? [/quote]

Going from 300k to 600k. We don't NEED to do this to survive, which somehow makes the decision harder.[/quote]

There’s no reason not to do this. He can always quit a job later or move later or something. People are making it out like this is a terrible idea and it’s just not increasing your income by this month can provide everyone a better future. No one‘s going through some great loss if they only see their dad on weekends. In many marriages, the dad works a lot and the kids don’t see them so it doesn’t matter if he’s there every single day plus weekend is good quality time and people are busy on the weekdays. No one sees anyone on the weekdays in my family because we are all too busy doing stuff running around between schoolwork and extracurricular activities. It’s not quality time on the weekdays.[/quote]
