[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No brainer. Work and continue advancing and building income (financial security) when kids are younger. I did. I've worked hard the last 10 years (while my children have had excellent childcare), and now I'm in a position to retire at age 45. [b]Many of my friends quit to become SAHMs in their early 30's, and went back to work about 10 years later. They started back at much lower salaries and now have to work until age 67.[/b] Unfortunately, a woman's prime earning years are around age 35-45. Being out of the workforce for most of that time is extremely detrimental to your family's financial security. Don't let emotion overrule your decision[/quote] But they were there while there kids were growing up. You missed out on most of their childhood. I'd rather be there to focus on raising my kids, and work later on when I have an empty nest. [/quote] Exactly how I feel.[/quote]
