a bit of a late post today but i’ve been exceedingly busy working on some important stuff on the side and that’s taken up most of my time. things are going pretty good currently and are generally productive.

    I agree. I’m in your position. With my wife working we would make about $100 more a year than the cost of childcare so we figured it’s probably worth it for her to stay home. If you think about it, divide your pay by 2, and that’s about what you and your spouse (I assume) make together to support everyone. One good job becomes about as good as 2 meh jobs.

    I often feel I am underwater.

      Yeah that’s exactly it. It only makes sense for my partner to work if she feels like it benefits her.

        I really looking forward to her having a job. We should be able to put most of her pay into retirement for her, and the rest into fun things with the kids, like camping.

        Very excited.
