First time posting, long time lurker. I just put in my notice at my job. I'm going to stay home with my infant son and do custom woodworking in the evenings. Not to say I had the worst job ever but no one has received a raise in 4 years, turnover is high in my department with no filling of open positions. After looking at the numbers and adding childcare into the mix, my wife and I decided we could make do with me staying at home Thanks for the courage from all the posts!
