    I'm trying to make enough money that my wife can quit working. 1) She deserves it. 2) I think we'd be able to live on less money if she didn't have to work.

    We've been a 1 income family for many years.

    Certainly,. if you are a highly paid professional this isn't applicable.
    doesn't matter how much you make. Day / after school care is more than some folks make. Maybe EVERYONE SHOULD BE ASKING FOR $15 . Should i quit my parts job, get a raise of $4.50 per hour by flipping burgers, mmmmmmmmmmmm

    We're a 1 income family. ammo, components & PM's are on the buy list.

    Ours would be $700 a month ($35 a day) if I worked a normal 9 to 5. And that is pretty cheap from what we found when looking, highest was around $1200 a month ($60 a day). With my shift work type schedule she only has to go a couple days a week. If one of us was making minimum wage or near it it would make 0 sense to pay for day care.

    Our baby sitter is free. Don't know what we'd do without that.

    Our little one(pre-K) is $139/wk and our 2nd grader is $81/wk for after school. It is financially a benefit, but we are thinking that the schools in general aren't a good thing. We are considering more and more the option of homeschooling. Unfortunately, we are on my wife's benefits and she makes a good salary.

    Yep. Mrs. HB is home with HB Jr now. Unfortunately, she was bringing in about half the pay. It was by choice, and it was the right choice. At first, I was very hesitant, but now I am 100% sure it was the right choice.

    Something else to read.

    Today's Federal Reserve Note "dollar" will buy you 5/100 of a one Silver Eagle. On a good day.
    http://www.woodpilereport.com/html/index-386.htm

    Rare is the person not charmed by silver's tactile appeal, its seductive presence and satisfying heft, its subtlety hued luster. Silver is said to be the money of gentlemen. It's also the money of bus drivers and motel desk clerks who want a reliable store of value as a hedge against the machinations of paper manipulators, or an economic calamity, a Mad Max societal collapse or even a disastrous war. Platinum or gold or palladium bullion are too concentrated in value to be practical for Joe Everyman in such settings. He's looking to buy supplies, not the truck they came in. In fact, one ounce silver coins may be the top end for common use in "interesting" times.
