    Sorry, I’m getting married this year and planning to be a SAHM when we have kids. I already told myself I have no business asking to stay home when I have loans. So, I busted my ass to pay them off before the wedding. Completely Debt free now. Don’t quit your job when you have a mountain of debt.

      Now that I am able to work from home, I want to sell my house and move somewhere cheaper. I am waiting for the kids to graduate from college first. I have about 1.4 million in home equity. I would like to move somewhere and pay cash for the new house and keep $500,000 in cash. I have seven figures in stocks holding for retirement. I can still bring in $200-300k per year and put a majority towards retirement. Paying the house off in full would make me debt free and put me in a good position financially.

    This is why we base all long-term financial decisions (house is the big one) on MY income. I will always have a job and if something happens or if I lose a job I will be getting another job or working every job I can find. However, before that house is paid for my wife may no longer have a job and may not want one. Basing those decisions on my income alone and not our combined total will allow her the freedom to stop work. Besides if she does have a job that’s just more money to save for cars, vacation, or simply having more in the budget.

      The biggest mistake was caller quitting her job. It likely provided healthcare and built toward retirement savings. They are deeply in debt even beyond the house. She's so ill-informed and looking for easy answers while holding on to her ridiculous fantasy of homeschooling.

    My house payment is 50% of my take home pay, but I save 20% of my monthly salary towards retirement and have no other debt. No kids, no other commitments... yet people keep telling me the house payment is too high. Why? What else would I spend the money on? Give up a house I like just so I can save more cash?

    Essentially got debt that they can't afford, got house that they can't afford, then on top of that got kids they can't afford. not hard to see where the problem is, too bad, can't just return the kids for like 5 years until everything else is paid off. Frankly speaking, people shouldn't have kids until their financial debt are all paid off with exception of their home. mortgage is either paying for your own or paying rent for someone else, that's just general expense in life, other debts are real debt. having kids with a lot of debt outside of their house could be a disaster, because you can't be a loving parent when you're financially struggling. it takes a lot of time, effort, and money to raise a happy child.

Other thoughts, depending on what you taught....teachers will pay for lesson plans and handouts. If you have these from when you worked, you can sell them on line. But reality, instead of starting that as a business, I'd get a couple tutoring clients right away.
