Hell I don't want to work either ha.

If your friends are dual income, they may be going to the gym, paying for private school, and buying a second home- you probably won’t.

You may think that you can live with that or that it’s a wash because of the high cost of day care, after-school care, and camps, but you’re giving up years of continuous work experience, and during that time you won’t be putting as much away into your retirement funds.

As you get older, your parents rely on you, so you can’t fall back on them. Your family members and friends will die off and be affected by disease. You’ll become obsolete at work, and you won’t be able to take time off to retrain nor afford to pay for the additional education.

I’ve been stressed out for years because if I lose my job or get injured, and both have happened, there’s no one to take care of my family.

I love my family, and I love that our children had more support because one of us stayed home.

But, I wouldn’t suggest to anyone to have a single income family if you have a choice.
