Don’t let the fear of finances keep you from this dream. It can feel scary and is certainly an emotional struggle at times but it is so incredibly worth it. Don’t feel discouraged if at times you feel you can’t do it, IT IS A VERY TOUGH JOB, but it’s best one you will ever have. I promise. Working just to increase your tax bracket and pay someone else to watch your kid is not worth it. It’s a wage slave trap. You’re children are only young once, don’t waste it, don’t miss out on it.
Again, I've been so busy I'm super behind on threads and playing catch up, but rooftop, you're killing this thread. I don't know if you ARE a mom, but you'd make a GREAT one.
Theres this preacher I listen to on the radio who put it to folks straight: downsize for the health of the family! Give up these luxuries - make huge sacrifices! Because if you don’t, the stress and weight of the world will destroy your marriage and then what do you have? If you separate over unhappiness, you each have 1 separate income and downsizing occurs anyways. Seems the best and only choice is to make the sacrifice.

Everything you're saying is true. Sad but true.
