I have received permission to quit my job from the spouse and the part of me that resents that my mom always worked and put money before family says jump at this. But there are so many parts of me that are making this a difficult decision. I never thought this would be so hard to do. I had previously blamed the husband for this being an impossibility and never thought about the act of becoming unemployed. I trust that my husband can provide for us and I know I can make the cut backs to keep the books in balance but I have never ever ever had to worry about making it work.
When I was single I always had savings to fall back on and never worried, but now even though the savings is still there I have little people that count on us. What if I quit now and Mark does not pass the bar or I quit and he loses his state job, what if instead of $450 a month for health insurance we start having to pay $900 or more. There are so many "what if's" but I guess it just comes down to having FAITH!
Right now my thoughts are to work until the end of the summer, like the Friday before the CSUS Fall Semester starts. Because I am not in school and it's only three mornings a week that I will be away from the kids, and I know my income helps propel our family. I just hope that I can bite the bullet and do it!
