[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one in college and one in med school and I'm glad that I stayed in the workforce.  We have a comfortable life, we can retire,  and the kids are starting with a huge advantage in life (no student loans and down-payment for decent housing). [/quote]

I am a SAHM. We also saved up for college, med/law/business school, new car, big fat wedding, down payment to first house etc.  Kids also earned merit scholarships so some of the college savings got converted to their ROTH. [/quote]
But this isn't possible for everyone without dual incomes. These discussions are silly to give advice across the board when everyone has a different life. I know it is irksome to hear a wohm say "thanks to my job, my kid has xyz" when your kid has xyz because you took an opposite approach and you know others who don't have xyz. It doesn't matter because not everyone is in the same position with the same background, opportunity, personality, spouse, support, community or work culture. We don't know what miseries or blessings op will have to deal with going down either road. Even those closest to her will not know. This has to be decided with deep self intuition and consideration.
