Weddingbee boards

If we were secure that I means I would be traveling all over america showing horses.. so hell to the yes. If I couldn't show horses, no, I am not working right now, and I am bored as all get out. 

we're in the middle of this right now!

growing up as a little boy, FI says its always been his goal to make enough himself so that his wife could stay home with the children if wanted too. - so sweet.

i've been a nanny for a year now - in circumstances that are far from enjoyable. and working 10-12 hours a day 5 days a week. im beyond exhausted! FI started a new job last November and is making more now than he did at his old job + my salary combined. 

we've decided that i am able to leave the nanny job! I AM SO RELIEVED. im staying here until april finishes. and then spending the summer months at home with our 2 puppies wrapping up all of our weddding plans until august. once the wedding is completely paid off (aiming for may) - we wont have too much to worry about! 

right now, im not able to have children - but were not giving up on that miracle baby! so with less stress on me from this job, we'll be trying more and praying! also using that time to look into adoption etc. but when kids DO come - were so satisfied knowing that ill be able to spend time with them and we'll have family time! the way FI job is laid out, he can bring them to school and attend sporting events - we already thrive on all the family time we will get to spend together, breakfast in the mornings & etc! 

but once my children are old enough - toddlers or preschool - in school for sure - ill DEFINITELY want some type of job! ill get too bored! whether its a few hours a week or a few days. itd be so nice to do something that i enjoy! vs having to do it because it pays good money. ideally id like to go back to school & get my masters in counseling, then when we rebuild our new home, have an office in there and have clients come to me! 

Heck yeah! I like my job enough, and I get a big sense of worth from it (I'm an engineer), but my real passion is art. I also love baking, crafts, planning, etc.

I make more than FI, although he does plenty fine by himself. He's talking about going back to school and becoming a vet, so for the immediate future I'll be working. Way down the road, it's possible I could go part-time or seasonal which would be nice. If I could make money selling cakes or crafts I would totally stay home. 

I think I would want to work part time at least, then eventually not at all. My FI will be making plenty for us to live off of and have children, so he's definitely pushing towards that. Especially since his mom was always working and he never saw her besides when she took him to her job. Lol.

So this is actually going to be an option for me in the future.  My FI is in his 3rd year of medical school and plans to be an interventional cardiologist (starting salary is usually around $350,000/year after residency).  This is absolutely more than enough money for me not to work.  However, I fully intend to work.  I'm studying to be a teacher.  My salary will be around $45,000 starting, which is MUCH less than my FI will make.  When I have children, I plan on staying home for a year or two while they are very young, but I will return to work.

For me, I LOVE what I do.  I love teaching.  I have an incredible amount of fulfillment in my job.  Because I'm lucky enough to have a job I love, I would never leave it.  I also have worked really hard my whole life in school, so I wouldn't want that to go to waste.

I wouldn't.

If I were single and came into enough money to retire somehow, I would in a heartbeat! Would I quit my job and stay home while my fiance worked to support us, no. Mostly I would feel then that I had to keep the house immaculate, cook every day, etc. And honestly I would rather go to my desk job than spend that much time on housework!

I would not do it to be a housewife, but I would to be a mom. I'd be too bored as a housewife I think.  I would LOVE to be a stay-at-home mom though...
