...if you want to buy a house (as opposed to rent for half the price) and Live Richly.
one has to look back to the early 80's at that momment when the choice of either working or stay at home no longer became a choice because of the
economic pressures that necessitated a two income family
I have 3 daughters, ages 11, 14, and 16, and while I've always worked full time, I find it much more difficult being away from my kids now that they are teens (or nearly so). It's so much more nerve wracking, and I feel very torn about not being available during these "precarious" times.
