Great post! I think if someone really wants or feels the need to stay at home they can make it work. It might mean that they need to move to a smaller home or cut back on eating out, but it is doable!

Completely agree! Finances can change in the blink of an eye and are certainly nothing to base a decision like this on!

You nailed it!!! That is exactly it. It’s a values statement, too. i value people more than the stuff I can buy them.

This is so true, the real issue behind it all!

“The only bit of advice I wish to impart is that there is no such thing as enough money to stay home; it is a lifestyle choice”

I will say from experience though that transitioning to this lifestyle can be the hardest part. It takes time to learn to live on one income if you have never done it before. It takes time to learn how to live frugally, and to live without. Over the past few years I have learned so much, and I continue to learn more all the time!
