<prompt> Human: Has anyone made a switch from two incomes to one income when they had kids? Any financial advice for this situation? My husband and I both have jobs in IT he makes 87k and I am at about 100k. Even if we could live on just his income... I feel like it is a huge cost for me to quite my job to be a stay at home parent. Curious what others have done. We pay 1500 a month for daycare-that would be the only savings we would get from having a stay at home parent.  <response>: The biggest cost to this is actually the end of your career, if it takes you off path for the last, highest earning years.This is a lifestyle decision that we cant answer for you. You could live like Mr. Money Mustache and easily make it on 87K, but most people dont use that.
