Thanks for the response. Just curious, are you single or do you have a family who depends on your income? If the latter, how did your family handle the adjustment?


Unfortunately, my ex won most of our net worth in the divorce. (No kids.)

I remarried, though, and yes, I'm still the breadwinner, although at least my latest wife works.

That's kind of side details, though. If you have kids, you should try pretty hard to do right by them, in my opinion. Your wife, on the other hand, is perfectly able to get a job, too.

It's all balance. Your kids aren't going to be that happy if you're miserable.
