I'm dying to do something different! I'd LOVE to stay home with Weston, at least part-time, but unfortunately, Grant is convinced that it's not possible. I'm confident that with a little adjustment in our spending habits that we could definitely do it! We don't have any debt except for our house payment!
Grant has TONS of reasons that we can't do it, such as, A.) It will put his/our retirement out farther or make it more difficult in retirement, because we can't save as much money, B.) We just won't be able to get by each month, C.) We can't save as much money, and we might have an emergency and D.) It will be tough to make ends meet, and we won't ever be able to build a house or buy some land, which are dreams we both have!
Anyways, I'm looking for anyone and everyone out there who has any suggestions/comments/ideas on how you do it and things that you do to squeeze your pennies and save money. I'm open to any and all suggestions! It's going to take some major sweet talking to convince Grant! :)
Also, does anyone else feel this way? Grant and I have been discussing this for awhile now, and we go back and forth on the issue, and it's really the only argument that we have! We never get really heated over it, but we both want the opposite thing, and I'm not sure how we go about coming to an agreement that's satisfactory for both of us. Thoughts?!
