can you get back into your field after a few yrs? I can't so I'm staying put until they kick me out! This way I can bank the money while there is still money to make. if you can easily pick up in 3 yrs where you left off then I'd think about staying home. [ Reply | More

it means they are used to a lifestyle. they make decent money now, probably enough for her to stay home. clearly they won't be in the same economic bracket if she stays home, but they won't be on food stamps either. So you make your choice. Simple as that. [ Reply | More

I think it's also a big deal in that you are totally giving up your financial independence. That would bother me. [ Reply | More
