[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM (now) but went back to work last year as DH lost his job - was unemployed for ONE YEAR. Ladies, we went from $280K to $60K and guess what, WE MADE IT WORK.  Don't get me wrong, it was tough as shit, but it was amazing how much money we "saved" by just staying the hell home and not buying stuff we just didnt really and truly need.  [b]Now, $60K is impossible for a family of 4 to live on anywhere in the country for an extended period of time[/b] -and we did wrack up $30K in credit card debt (never, ever, ever, ever carried debt in our 15 yrs of marriage. hate it, makes me uncomfortable) but my point is that many of you could live on one paycheck if you really needed to. it's all a matter of priorities. DH is now employed again and making the same money. we are working like hell to get rid of all of our debt.

And I am a SAHM again.  We have young children that need me to be home.  That's more important than a big, fancy house, private school (both of which we've had/done in the past), new clothes every week/month.  [/quote]
