I have a 2 year old and a nine year old and I missed his childhood working and am determined now more thanever to be able to watch her grow and be there during her younger years. For the past 6 months my husband and I are on a mission to pay off debt and save a the same time so I can work partime in 2011. I would love to hear an updat of how you are enjoying your children.

You must be in a scary spot but at least you've got your bearings. And you'll just be pursuing what you really want now. Isn't it wonderful to think this outcome wouldn't have been possible if you hadn't learned to be frugal and financially independent years back? It was just a thought. :) I just want to give my congratulations. You must be in a scary spot but at least you’ve got your bearings. And you’ll just be pursuing what you really want now.

My husband left corporate a year and a half ago. The goal is for me to quit my job later this year, in time for my 30th birthday. It's not always stress-free, but it was the best decision we've ever made. Trent, congratulations! My husband left corporate a year and a half ago.

Sometimes working from home causes us to want to "get out" and this means that we are actually more likely to eat out. Just my thought. Congratulations!

I too have started to take steps to be rid of this rat race. I pooled my savings with a close friend and we decided to open up a post natal and health treatment center. It's been tiring but extremely fun. I can't wait for 2010 when my contract with The Company expires and I can do this full time. Thanks again for being a source of inspiration.
