I gave up my job of over $200K because of the exhaustion two high stress banking finance jobs and two children under four can do to a family. (It helped that I did not love it, so please don't think I made a huge sacrifice!) All this to say I often feel that my financial contribution is missed, but reading your post I know we made the right decision. (but yes, here's hoping for low mortgage rates for years to come..)

What I do find is when I get home from work I like to spend some time at home while my wife, who has been home wants to get out. It is a balancing act, however we would rather have it this way than both working and what that involves.
