We squandered away so much money when the 2 of us were working. Now with just one income we are living so much better, on lots less. Definitely a feeling to be treasured! I worked long hours, and because of that, unfortunately my family suffered. Glad to have made the choice to stay home when I did. Great Post! I agree, Danelle!

With five kids from 5-15, family security is more important right now to them than any job. We're going out on a limb with this, but know we only have this short season. We couldn't justify moving away from their cousins, aunt/uncles, and since we prepared for months for this decision, we have some time. Five years ago, he initially took this job at a huge pay cut so we could invest in our family, and not necessarily our fortune. It was the best decision we ever made....even though now is another growing opportunity. :) Very timely reminder as my husband is currently unemployed due to our decision against relocating to another state and moving away from our family homestead.

I am still amazed that we squandered so much money all those years when we were living on 2 incomes, and now on 1 income we live on WAY less and do better! Thank you for coming over for FF, Amy! It's always a pleasure. Barbi @Amy – It’s wonderful to look at the trade-off like that.

I feel bad that I don't have birth stories written, because I wasn't blogging yet when my son was born. Good motivation for me too - thanks for the reminder! Barbi @Jenn: What a great idea!

My husband's teaching/coaching job doesn't pay squat, BUT we get to be part of his day and that is priceless. Truly, if you learn how to manage your money and make a few sacrifices, small salaries can stretch big time! Excellent!
