What do I do?
This is my first ever Reddit post and I feel lost that on the fact that I have to ask Reddit this. This is probably gonna be a long one
I just received 100 P&T a couple months ago and am still working. My plans next year are to leave my job and stay home full time. I’ve caught a lot of hate about it from especially my dad (Old skool gwot) and family including my wife about it.
My wife and I are in our mid twenties with one kid starting school next year and another one possibly starting as well. I understand the duality of the extra income but I’m not happy at my work. I’ve searched and nothing in my area seems fitting for me (especially shift wise) I’ve looked into going back to school when I leave but nothing really looks fitting or has nothing in this area to do.I’m currently on 2nd shift hours so I would be able to drop the kids off but nothing else. I’m working on paying off a lot of our debt and start us off with a decent savings before I make the effective date. After I got out, I lost all of my sense of purpose and really ever since I got my rating, my sense of purpose is to stay home, take care of the house and let my kids and wife prosper, no longer having to worry about someone watching the kids and etc. I just want to be self reliant.
I think this post is really just wanting reassurance that I’m not the only one who’s doing this. That I’m not alone on the dream of being there and always for my family. Budget wise, Once my debt is clear minus the house and car payment, all of the necessary bills will be taken care of with extra, that’s including placing money in savings. My wife would really have to cover groceries and minor stuff if I can’t cover but that shouldn’t happen.
