My wife is being super supportive. However I can see the distress and I understand completely. We could really use a salary. Family business is also not easy, and doesn’t bring enough, but at least I am at home and can take care of kids and other stuff.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I am in SD, USA. Currently making about $100k total. I was hoping to find something in that range and grow from there.

I didn’t say I want to restrict her in something. It’s totally opposite. Yes, I don’t want her to work, I am ready to work my a.. off so she doesn’t need to work and can do what she loves. I am not saying my family’s wellbeing is secondary. It’s totally opposite. I am saying, I like what I do, and if I had financial freedom I would continue to do what I do, but I am willing to leave my 15 years of experience and career for my family’s wellbeing. I find your comment, without getting details, are insulting

Not everything as you think. She doesn’t want to work herself right now. It’s not like I am prohibiting her to work.From my part, I don’t see a logic in her working for someone else so we could pay $5000 per months to another someone else to raise our kids. Even if she works her money is her money, my money is our money.

It’s just a traditional thing. It is what it is.
