Pretend you spent 16 years in school, have worked for the same company for almost 3 years, and though you make good money... the job is far from what would really make you happy. To put it better, you loathe going to work each day, and while you are there you are just waiting for any reason to leave your office.
Then you have a baby... and you absolutely LOVE waking up every morning. (You actually enjoy waking up in the middle of the night, and sometimes dread that day that the little one will sleep all the way thru, because you love the quiet time you share in the middle of the night.)
What would it take for you to say, to heck with the job, and spend your days doing what you never thought you would? (Regarding your personall health and financial needs)
And yes, this IS my current situation. Currently our bills and expenses cover about 50% of my DH's salary, and my slaray and his extra 50% are split between savings, vacations, and extras. If I quit, we would obviously cut out vacations first, which I love... but wonder if I love them more because it means getting away from work, which I hate. Don't get me wrong, I am a true traveler, but maybe it is something I could do without when I don't *need* it so much?
I am all over the place right now, and am most likely not coming across very well, but if you understand what I am trying to ask, would you please chime in?
